Option D is the correct answer. The above idiomatic expression explains that some one else destroyed our plan that we executed before.

It means his intention was not to destroy. He tried to help but the plan was failed.
Hence his partner pointed for his own failure to other.

To put a spoke in a wheel is in fact to stop the wheel turning, metaphor. For anyone who was hoping for something to go smoothly or not to be found out its like someone stopped you dead in your tracts by sticking a spoke in your wheel and in so doing you were stopped. A spanner in the works is another well used saying, if you have a spanner in the works it stops everything moving and going forward.
