Answer 1

The correct option is B a substituted arbitrator shall be appointed

After the mandate of the arbitrator is terminated as per section $14$ and $15$ of the Act, Section $15\left(2\right)$ prescribes that where the mandate of an arbitrator terminates, a substitute arbitrator shall be appointed according to the rules that were applicable to the appointment of the arbitrator being replaced.
