J.P stands for which title?

• A. Jumped On
• B. Justice of the Peace
• C. JUMPER
• D. House

Answer: (B)

J.P. is a title indicating the person is a Justice of the Peace, a public official who can perform certain judicial and administrative duties such as witnessing documents, administering oaths, and sometimes presiding over minor matters. In records or conversations, seeing J.P. after a name signals the person holds that office, not that they are associated with the words in the other options. The other ideas—something like a phrase meaning “Jumped On,” a clothing item called a jumper, or the word “House”—do not represent any official title or post-nominal designation.
