Correct Answer
C. That is improper because giving legal advice is prohibited to a non-attorney notary.
Detailed Explanation
Legal advice remains off-limits. In the booklet’s "Professional Conduct" section and under Judiciary Law §§484-485, a non-attorney notary may not give advice on the law. For contrast, Executive Law §135-b regulates foreign-language advertising and disclaimers, but the disclaimer does not authorize the non-attorney notary to provide the legal advice in the first place.
