The second sentence is correct.

Explanation: "Proliferate" is intransitive and means to increase or spread rapidly (e.g., things or establishments proliferate). The other sentences misuse it as a transitive verb ("proliferate him"), as an adjective ("proliferate worker"), or in place of a different verb ("proliferate instead of saying no").
