Right answer:
tarde
This is a common saying in the Spanish speaking world. Recall that a saying is a short, pithy expression generally containing advice or wisdom. So this phrase means in English better late than never and means that you arrive or do something later than expected and this is not good, but it's better than not at all. This phrase is often expressed with sarcasm saying something positive but remarking on someone's lateness. So:
Más vale tarde que nunca.
