Verified by Toppr

“Vicarious “ means acting or done for another, which means done indirectly or used as a substitute.
Option C is the correct answer because “delegated” means entrust (a task or responsibility) to another person, Hence it is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because “tenuous “ means very weak or slight, which is incorrect as it is irrelevant to the given word.
Option B is incorrect because “limited” means less availability, hence it is incorrect as it is not related to the given word.
Option D is incorrect because “wide” means something that has a great width, incorrect because not relevant to the word.
