Correct Answer

B. Vacates the office as a notary public.

Detailed Explanation

Loss of the New York office ends eligibility for the office. Executive Law §130 states that a nonresident who ceases to have an office or place of business in this state vacates the office. Not to be confused with a resident who moves out of state but still retains a New York office or place of business.
