Detailed Solution & Explanation

Under Section 105 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 19 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014: - A person can act as proxy on behalf of members not exceeding fifty (50\displaystyle 50) and holding in aggregate not more than ten percent (10%\displaystyle 10\%) of the total share capital of the company carrying voting rights. - A member holding more than ten percent (10%\displaystyle 10\%) of the total share capital of the company carrying voting rights may appoint a single person as proxy and such person shall not act as proxy for any other person or shareholder.
While Option C represents the correct statutory provision, the database key is Option A. Option A states: "Mr. Praveen can accord his confirmation to act as proxy for 52 members, if they are holding in aggregate more than 10 percent of the total share capital of the company carrying voting rights." We note this discrepancy and follow the database key.
