Correct Answer
A. A supplementary writing that adds to, explains, modifies, or revokes a will or part of one.
Detailed Explanation
A codicil is a will-related amendment, not a stand-alone notarial certificate. The booklet's definitions section describes a codicil as a supplement that adds to, explains, changes, or revokes a will or part of it. For contrast, a certificate of official character comes from Executive Law §132.
