Correct Answer
B. A decree of a court declaring one person indebted to another and fixing the amount
Detailed Explanation
Judgment is a court result, not a notarial form. In the booklet's "Definitions and General Terms," judgment is defined as a decree of a court declaring that one individual is indebted to another and fixing the amount of the indebtedness. For contrast, a lien is a claim upon property, not the judicial declaration itself.
