Correct Answer

B. Residence and, if in a city, street and number, plus knowledge of the signer

Detailed Explanation

Proof by subscribing witness has specific residence and knowledge requirements. Real Property Law §304 requires the witness to state the witness’s residence and, if in a city, the street and number, and that the witness knew the person who executed the conveyance. Unlike an ordinary acknowledgment, the subscribing witness’s own information must be stated.
