A. many of the delegates arriving over a week late

This option was not a problem faced by the delegates at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The other options, particularly B, C, and D, reflect real issues that affected the convention, such as the weather, differing visions for the country's governance, and the context of the times regarding slavery and social unrest. However, there is no historical record of many delegates arriving late to the convention.
