Correct Answer
C. The residential or business address of the signer
Detailed Explanation
Required vs. non-required journal entries. Government Code section 8206(a)(2) lists the required journal entries: date/time/type of act, character of instrument, signature of the person notarized, statement of satisfactory evidence of identity, fee charged, and thumbprint for real property documents. The signer's address is NOT among the required entries. Including it may be good practice, but it is not legally required.
