What is an oath?

A promise to perform a task to the best of one's ability
A formal declaration of truth or commitment
A declaration before an authorized office to attest to the truth or a promise to perform acts faithfully
A legal document attesting to the ownership of property

The correct answer is: A declaration before an authorized office to attest to the truth or a promise to perform acts faithfully

An oath is a formal declaration made before an authorized officer that attests to the truth or a promise to fulfill an act faithfully. This option best describes the definition of an oath, as it includes elements of both declaring the truth and making a promise. Option A is incorrect because it only mentions the promise to perform a task, while an oath can also involve declaring the truth. Option B is incorrect because it only mentions declaring the truth, while an oath can also involve making a promise to act faithfully. Option D is incorrect because it only mentions a legal document and property ownership, which may not always be applicable to the definition of an oath.
