Correct Answer

A. The notary's official number assigned by the clerk or register.

Detailed Explanation

New York City numbering rules are a common detail trap. Executive Law §137 requires a New York City notary to affix official number information where assigned by the county clerk or register. Not to be confused with the basic statewide title-and-expiration wording, which applies to all notaries.
