    The correct answer is d. apparent authority.

    Explanation:

    An apparent authority is a two-party association that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that one party acts as the agent of the other party. For example, an insurance salesperson could be employed by an insurance agency as an independent contractor, but could actually be considered an apparent agent of the company for legal purposes.
