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

Answer: (A)

In situations where authority is limited to particular tasks or conditions, the term used is a limited proxy. It means the person you appoint can act only for defined situations or purposes, not for every decision. For example, a limited proxy might allow someone to vote on one specific shareholder matter or make a single treatment decision if you cannot. The scope stays restricted, so they can’t handle other issues beyond what’s been set out. The other terms described aren’t standard ways to denote restricted authority in this context, and they imply broader or different roles. So limited proxy precisely captures the idea of authority that applies only in specific situations.
