Correct Answer

D. Taking a deposition

Detailed Explanation

Sunday limits mainly affect civil depositions. In the booklet's "Sunday" entry, a notary may administer an oath or take an affidavit or acknowledgment on Sunday, but a deposition cannot be taken on Sunday in a civil proceeding. Unlike those ordinary notarial acts, the civil deposition is the barred act.
