Correct Answer

A. The same as “Authentication (Notarial)”

Detailed Explanation

This is a terminology cross-reference. In the “Definitions and General Terms” section, “County Clerk’s Certificate” points to “Authentication (Notarial).” For contrast, a certificate of official character under Executive Law §132 is a different document and carries a separate $1 fee.
