Correct Answer: Deputy


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

A deputy is an individual who is authorised to perform the duties or functions of another, often in an official or representative capacity. This aligns perfectly with the description provided, making deputy the most suitable choice among the options.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • A minister refers to a government official in charge of a specific department or function.

  • An officer refers to an individual holding a position of authority in the military, police, or a similar organisation.

  • A delegate refers to a person chosen to represent others.

Therefore, the right answer is deputy.
