Correct Answer
B. Have the client write a statement about the photo, sign the statement, and then notarize the client's signature on that statement.
Detailed Explanation
Notarizing photographs. A notary public cannot notarize a photograph. They only authenticate signatures. If a client needs a 'notarized photo', the notary must instruct the client to draft a written statement regarding the photo, sign it, and then the notary can perform a Jurat or Acknowledgment on that signature.
