The Member accepting delegation of approval authority is called a _____.

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

Answer: (A)

When you delegate approval authority, the person who accepts and carries out decisions on the original member’s behalf is a proxy. A proxy is someone authorized to act for another, especially in formal matters like approvals or votes, typically to step in when the primary holder isn’t available. This label emphasizes acting on behalf in a formal capacity rather than merely being assigned tasks. An approver is the one who signs off on decisions, but not the person who accepts the delegation; a delegate is similar but the term proxy is the conventional choice for representing someone in approvals. An agent is a broad term and not the standard label in this specific context.
