What may happen to a notary who engages in the unauthorized practice of law?

Commission extension
Public commendation
Commission suspension
A formal apology

The correct answer is: Commission suspension

If a notary engages in the unauthorized practice of law, their commission may be suspended. This refers to the act of providing legal advice or services without proper authorization or qualifications. A commission extension (A) is when a notary's term is extended. Public commendation (B) is when a notary is recognized for their exceptional work. A formal apology (D) is a statement expressing regret or remorse, but it would not be a consequence for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Therefore, the option of commission suspension (C) is the most accurate and logical choice.
