Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 3 permits witnessing execution or receiving the executant's "personal acknowledgment", including execution by a person acting in the executant's presence and at his direction. Attestation also requires at least two witnesses, each signing in the executant's presence; either individual route can be used without both witnesses attending together.
