Correct Answer

B. sufficiently identify the notary public, authority, and jurisdiction

Detailed Explanation

New York does not require a notary seal, but if one is used it should identify the notary and authority. The “Seal” definition explains that the seal should sufficiently identify the notary public, authority, and jurisdiction. For contrast, the venue requirement comes from the certificate and is not replaced by a seal.
