Correct Answer
C. If the record is to be filed with or relates to a U.S. public official, court, governmental entity, or other entity subject to U.S. jurisdiction, or involves U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected with the United States.
Detailed Explanation
New York allows some overseas remote acts with a U.S. nexus. Executive Law §135-c(4)(a)(1)-(2) permits the act when the record relates to a U.S. official or entity or involves U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected with the United States. For contrast, the statute still requires the notary to be physically located in New York when performing the electronic act.
