Correct Answer
B. The part where the officer certifies the affidavit was sworn before the officer
Detailed Explanation
A jurat is the officer’s certification, not the whole affidavit. In the booklet’s "Jurat" definition, it is the part where the notary certifies that the affidavit was sworn to before the notary. Unlike the affidavit itself, the jurat is only the official certification portion.
