Correct Answer
D. Real Property Law §309-b is the uniform form used only for a civil deposition before a notary.
Detailed Explanation
The uniform-form sections belong to real-property acknowledgments and proofs, not depositions. Real Property Law §§309-a and 309-b provide substantially compliant certificate forms for acknowledgments or proofs within and without New York. Not to be confused with CPLR 3113, these sections do not govern civil depositions.
