How is D the answer
Meeting friends... but that is not explicitly mentioned. What if you are meeting your friend for the first time? isn't it shaky
Why is C, not the answer... multiple occasions have been given to justify this right?

I feel the answer should be E (Although I am also confused about B as well) as The speaker dislikes those who are "late for professional occasions" which could also be a possible inference. The statement does imply disapproval of being late for professional events or meetings, suggesting a certain level of dislike or at least a lack of tolerance for such behavior in those contexts.
So, both C and E could be valid interpretations depending on the context and emphasis of the speaker but in terms of inference I feel E suits better
