Correct Answer
B. A trustee's deed resulting from a decree of foreclosure.
Detailed Explanation
Thumbprint exemptions in the notary journal. According to CA Gov. Code § 8206(a)(2)(G), a thumbprint is strictly required for deeds, quitclaim deeds, deeds of trust, and powers of attorney. However, the law explicitly exempts a trustee's deed resulting from a decree of foreclosure, a nonjudicial foreclosure, or a deed of reconveyance.
