Correct Answer

A. Venue

Detailed Explanation

Venue identifies the geographical place of the notarial act. In the booklet’s "Venue" definition, it is the place where a notary takes an affidavit or acknowledgment, and every affidavit or certificate of acknowledgment should show it on its face. Not to be confused with execution, venue tells where the act occurred, not whether the instrument was signed.
