Y
You have 20 minutes; your nearly deadline is approaching.
Y
Your deadline is approaching; you have nearly 20 minutes.
Y
Your nearly deadline is approaching; you have 20 minutes.

Explanation

“Nearly” should modify “20 minutes,” meaning you have almost 20 minutes remaining. In choice C, “nearly” is placed directly before the amount of time it describes. In the other choices, it is incorrectly placed before “approaching” or “deadline.”
