By writing one line item and noting 'times 3' in the additional comments section.

C

By writing one detailed line item and using ditto marks ("") for the subsequent lines.

Correct Answer

D. By creating three completely separate, individually completed line items, requiring three separate signatures.

AI Explanation

Sequential journal entries. A notary public must keep one active sequential journal. If a notary public performs more than one notarization for a person at the same time, the notary must create a separate line item for each notarial act. Ditto marks are strictly prohibited.
