Explanation:

- The sentence is about explaining why someone couldn't finish their work on time due to illness.

- Option 1: "Subsequent for" - This phrase is not grammatically correct. "Subsequent" is typically followed by "to," not "for," and does not fit the context here.

- Option 2: "As a consequence of" - This phrase suggests a cause-effect relationship and it can be the correct choice.

- Option 3: "In consequence to" - This is not a standard expression in English. The correct phrase would be "in consequence of," but even that wouldn't quite fit here.

- Option 4: "On account of" - This phrase means "because of" and is suitable for explaining the reason something happened, such as an inability to finish work due to illness.
