• A. Primary proxy
• B. General proxy
• C. Limited proxy
• D. Secondary proxy

Answer: (D)

In decision-making roles, the backup person is the one designated to step in if the primary cannot participate. That backup is called the secondary proxy. Here, “secondary” shows they come next in line to represent the person, and “proxy” means they act on behalf of the person in decision matters. The other terms focus on either who is in charge initially (primary proxy) or the scope of their authority (general vs limited), not on fulfilling the backup role.
