C Correct answer
Explanation

When a substitute umpire replaces an injured umpire, they initially act only as striker's end umpire. Taking full responsibility requires explicit agreement from both team captains. This ensures continuity and fair application of umpiring decisions. The substitute cannot independently declare batsmen out without coordination.
