The Member who accepts delegation of approval authority is called a _____.

• A. Proxy
• B. Delegate
• C. Approver
• D. Agent

Answer: (A)

When authority is delegated, a person is designated to act on behalf of the delegator in making decisions or approvals. The member who accepts that role is called a proxy. This term highlights representation and formal authorization to act for someone else, specifically for approving actions within the scope of the delegation.

A delegate can refer to someone given tasks to carry out, but the common term for someone authorized to approve on another’s behalf is proxy. An approver describes the action of approving, not the person who holds the delegated authority. An agent is a broader term for someone who acts for another, but proxy is the precise term used for acceptance of delegated approval authority in this context.
