Correct Answer

A. The inventory of the contents.

Detailed Explanation

The certificate must describe what was found. As reflected in the booklet's Banking Law §335 special note, the notary's certificate under seal should state the date, the lessee's name, and the inventory of contents. Unlike the separate ten-day mailing requirement, this question tests what belongs inside the certificate itself.
