Correct Answer
A. Witness the execution of a written instrument at the maker's request and subscribe it as a witness.
AI Explanation
This is the glossary meaning of the witness function. In "Definitions and General Terms," to attest means to witness execution of a written instrument, at the request of the person making it, and subscribe the same as a witness. Not to be confused with authentication, attestation is done by a witness rather than a county clerk.
