Correct answer: B) A resolution to remove an auditor before the end of their term of office
Explanation
Section 288 excludes from the written resolution procedure a resolution under s168 to remove a director and a resolution under s510 to remove an auditor before the end of their term. These require a meeting so that the director or auditor can make representations. Other ordinary and special resolutions of a private company may be passed in writing.
