Explanation:

For n^th seeded player: 

⇒ match no. played by n^th seeded player in a round = nth match; if n ≤ total no. of matches in that round.

⇒ match no. played by n^th seeded player in a round = (sum of the seeds – n)^th match; if n > total no. of matches in that round.

For e.g., 14^th seeded player will play 14^th match in round 2.

Now 46^th player will play 19^th match in round 1. If this match results in an upset i.e., 46^th seeded player wins he will advance to 2^nd round and play the match which 19^th seeded player was supposed to play.

Now 19^th seeded player would have played 33 – 19 = 14^th match in 2^nd round.

Since both 46^th and 14^th seeded players play the same match (14^th match) of round 2, 

⇒ 46^th seeded player plays against 14^th seeded player in round 2.

We can draw the following table:

Hence, option (d).
