The correct answer is Option 2.
 
Key Points
  • The word "now" is used to refer to the present time or moment.
  • Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and often indicate time, manner, place, or degree.
  • In this context, "now" is modifying the verb phrase "too late" by specifying when it is too late.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

  • Adjective – An adjective describes or modifies a noun. "Now" does not describe or modify a noun in this sentence.
  • Adverb – In this sentence, "now" is used as an adverb to specify the time when it is too late.
  • Preposition – A preposition shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word. "Now" is not functioning as a preposition in this sentence.
