Correct Answer
D. It means only a person physically appearing before a notary in the same room.
Detailed Explanation
The statutory definition is broader than same-room signers. Executive Law §135-c(1)(g) defines a principal to include an individual whose signature is on the notarized record, an individual taking an oath or affirmation, or an individual whose signature is on a record notarized after an oath or affirmation. For contrast, physical co-location is not built into that defined term.
