Difference between tard and en retard

Bonjour! Mon frère est arrivé ________ chez le dentiste ce matin !

My brother arrived late at the dentist's this morning!

In the quiz, the correct answer was "en retard", while "tard" was marked as wrong. May I know why "tard" cannot be used in this sentence?
