  1. Be black and white

  2. Contain the state seal and words 'notary public'

  3. Be round

  4. Contain a unicorn

The correct answer is: Contain the state seal and words 'notary public'

The correct answer is B because a notary seal must contain the state seal and words 'notary public' to properly identify the notary and their authority. Option A is incorrect because notary seals are not limited to black and white, they can also be in a variety of colors. Option C is incorrect because not all notary seals are required to be round, they can also be square or rectangular in some states. Option D is incorrect because notary seals do not contain unicorns as they are not relevant to the legal function of a notary.
