Solution

The most likely meaning of the statement "I tried to attend a support group for people who are chronically late, but I didn't make it on time" is D. It seems funny that I always do things wrong, but it's actually sad. This is because the speaker is pointing out the irony of being late to a support group for people who are chronically late, which could be seen as humorous, but also indicates a deeper issue with time management that could be causing distress or sadness.
