Correct Answer
B. The deposition is improper because an attorney or employee of an attorney for a party may not take it.
Detailed Explanation
CPLR 3113 bars party-side attorneys and their employees from serving as the deposition officer. Rule 3113(a) allows depositions before a person authorized to administer oaths, except an attorney, or employee of an attorney, for a party or prospective party. Unlike an ordinary notarization, consent by the witness does not cure that disqualification.
