Correct Answer

A. Behavior disrespectful of court authority that disrupts execution of court orders.

AI Explanation

The booklet describes contempt of court as behavior disrespectful of the authority of a court that disrupts the execution of court orders. For contrast, a recording defect under the Real Property Law is not itself the glossary definition of contempt.
