Verified Correct Answer: A.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The underlined phrase "appear by proxy" means to be represented by someone else, typically a legal representative or proxy. Therefore, the opposite of "appear by proxy" would be to be present in person. This means that the witness would physically attend or be present at the specified location, rather than being represented by a proxy.
