I think second part has error and management is always good. There is no good or bad management.

Please explain.

On behalf of means someone does it for someone else.

On the part of means 'by' or 'from'.

Is option A correct?

Because "is" is in the present tense and caused is in past tense.

Its confusing me. Please tell me exactly where to use 'on behalf of' with an example?

@Manya. I agree with you, it should either be travelling delay or delay in travel.
