Correct Answer

B. With the county clerk of Kings County

Detailed Explanation

County filing follows the location of the New York office or place of business for a qualifying nonresident. Executive Law §130 states that the oath of office and signature of the notary must be filed in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the office or place of business is located. Not to be confused with an attorney, who is deemed a resident of the county where the law office is maintained.
