Correct Answer
A. Behavior disrespectful of court authority that disrupts execution of court orders.
Detailed Explanation
This term is defined directly in "Definitions and General Terms." 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.
