Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The sale may be set aside when the failure to substitute the deceased judgment-debtor's legal representative has prejudiced that representative. Order XXI rule 22A says that death between proclamation and sale does not by itself invalidate the sale. It preserves the court's power to intervene when the omitted substitution has caused the required prejudice.
