Solution

The correct option is C Plenipotentiary
Option C: 'Plenipotentiary' is 'a person invested with full power of independent action on behalf of their government/country'. Hence this word substitutes for the given words and option C is correct.
Option A: 'Ambassador' is 'a representative or promoter of a country or any specific activity'.
Option B: 'Emissary' is 'a person sent as a diplomatic representative on a special mission'.
Option D: 'Envoy' is 'a representative on a special mission'.
These words do not mean the same as the given group of words. So, it cannot replace them.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
