Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

To 'bite off more than one can chew' means to take on more responsibility than one can handle. Ashish took charge of invitations, decorations and catering alone and is now overwhelmed, so option A fits. 'Hit the jackpot' means sudden success, 'hands in his pockets' suggests idleness, and 'mountain out of a molehill' means exaggerating a small problem; none matches the context.
