Correct Answer
B. If the reappointment application is filed within 1 year after a qualifying discharge.
Detailed Explanation
Military service creates a special extended reappointment window. Executive Law §130 allows the Secretary of State to waive qualifying requirements when the delay resulted from induction or enlistment and the reappointment application is made within one year after the qualifying discharge described in the statute. Unlike the ordinary six-month lapse rule, this is a separate one-year service-related exception.
