What role does an Ohio notary serve as?

Public defender
Public officer of the State of Ohio
State senator
County clerk

The correct answer is: Public officer of the State of Ohio

An Ohio notary serves as a public officer of the State of Ohio. This means that they are appointed by the state to serve as an official witness when signing legal and official documents. They are not a public defender (choice A) as they do not represent individuals in legal cases. They are also not a state senator (choice C) as they are not elected to make laws and represent their constituents. They also do not serve as a county clerk (choice D) as their duties do not involve maintaining and keeping records for a specific county.
