Answer Details
The most appropriate interpretation for the sentence "Okon is quite hardworking but his problem is that he has too many irons in the fire" is that Okon takes on more problems than he can cope with.
The phrase "too many irons in the fire" means that Okon is trying to do too many things at once, which is causing him to become overwhelmed and unable to effectively manage everything he has taken on. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the sentence states that Okon is hardworking, but his problem lies in taking on too much, indicating that he is struggling to balance his workload.
