Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The person on whose behalf an agent acts is the principal. Sections 182 and 183 distinguish that role from the agent who performs the act, and allow a person of full age and sound mind to employ an agent. The answer identifies the person’s role in the agency relationship, rather than asserting that agents can never appoint anyone.
