Correct Answer
C. $750
Detailed 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.
