It doesn't have to be a verb for an adverb to modify it.
An adverb is any word that modifies any other part of language: verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs, except for nouns; modifiers of nouns are primarily determiners and adjectives.
In this case, the adverb "quite" modifies the adjective "late".

The answer is 'B' because late is describing the verb 'was'. Quite, as some people have incorrectly put, is actually describing 'late' which is not a verb.
