Correct Answer

D. The place where the oath was taken

Detailed Explanation

The statute lists several required details but dispenses with one common one. CPLR §2309(d) requires the officer's rank/serial number and command, the military or dependent status of the person, and in some cases the person's serial number; it specifically says the place where the oath is taken need not be disclosed. For contrast, ordinary venue principles still matter for most affidavits and acknowledgments.
