Correct Answer
A. A notary may administer an oath or take an affidavit or acknowledgment on Sunday, but a deposition in a civil proceeding cannot be taken on Sunday.
Detailed Explanation
The official definitions section states that a notary may administer an oath or take an affidavit or acknowledgment on Sunday. However, a deposition cannot be taken on Sunday in a civil proceeding. This often appears with a second trap: a notary also may not solemnize a marriage or take the acknowledgment of parties and witnesses to a written contract of marriage.
