The correct answer is "it was a blessing in disguise."
 

Key Points 

  • The expression "it was a blessing in disguise" means that something initially perceived as a negative or unfortunate event turns out to have positive, beneficial, or advantageous consequences in the long run. (किसी चीज़ को शुरू में नकारात्मक या दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण घटना के रूप में देखा जाता है, लेकिन लंबे समय में उसके सकारात्मक, लाभदायक या लाभकारी परिणाम सामने आते हैं)
    • Example: After losing my job, I thought it was a disaster, but looking back, it was a blessing in disguise.
  • In other words, the true value or positive aspect of the situation becomes apparent only after some time has passed.
  • Therefore, the​ correct answer is Option 4.
