Correct Answer
A. Yes, the notary can notarize the client's signature, as the document is only incomplete regarding the other absent parties.
AI Explanation
Incomplete documents (multiple signers). A document with blank signature lines for other parties is NOT considered incomplete for the purpose of the current signer. The notary can notarize the signature of the person present. The prohibition against incomplete documents refers to blank substantive terms (like dates, amounts, or property descriptions), not blank signature lines for others.
