Final answer:

The Notary Public is responsible for completing the notarial evidence form, as their role is to authenticate documents by checking the identities and understanding of signatories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The responsibility for completing the notarial evidence form typically lies with the c) Notary Public. A Notary Public is an official appointed to perform acts in legal affairs, in particular witnessing signatures on documents.

The role of the notary is to deter fraud by checking the identity of the signatories and their understanding of the documentation. When a document has been notarized, the notary will complete and sign the notarial evidence form, providing a seal if necessary, to indicate that they have authenticated the signatures and circumstances of the document signing.

For certain legal matters, this form might be later used by forensic scientists, lawyers, or medical doctors depending on the context of the case and the relevance of the notarized document within it.

However, their roles do not typically extend to notarization responsibilities, which are exclusively the realm of the Notary Public.
