A

$500

B

$1,500

C

$750

D

Correct Answer

C. $750

AI Explanation

Government Code section 8214.15(b) sets a $750 maximum civil penalty for the specific covered violations in that subdivision, including negligent failure to complete a notarial certificate at the time the seal and signature are affixed. It is not a blanket penalty for every negligent notary-law violation.
