Someone who's been given the authority to act on behalf of someone else is a(n) ______.

  1. Agent

  2. Client

  3. Mortgage lender

  4. Trustor

The correct answer is: Agent

This is a question about legal terminology referring to an agent. The term "agent" is used when someone has been given the authority to act on behalf of someone else. It is not the same as a client (B), who is someone who has hired an agent to act on their behalf. A mortgage lender (C) is someone who provides financing for a property, and a trustor (D) is someone who creates a trust. These options are incorrect because they do not specifically refer to someone acting on behalf of another person. Therefore, the correct answer is A Agent.
