both (A) and (B)

none of them

Explanation:

- Option 1: The court must presume the seal or stamp or signature on a document is genuine. This is to ensure trust in official documents unless proven otherwise.

- Option 2: The court must presume that the person signing the document had the claimed judicial or official character at the time of signing. This aids in upholding the legitimacy of documents executed by officials.

- Option 3: Both (A) and (B)

- The court presumes both the genuineness of the seal or stamp and the proper authority of the signatory.

- Option 4: None of them. This would mean rejecting presumptions that are usually accepted for efficiency and trust.
