Correct Answer
C. The record must relate to a U.S. matter or U.S. property or transaction substantially connected to the U.S.
Detailed Explanation
Foreign-located principals need a U.S. nexus. Executive Law §135-c(4)(a) and 19 NYCRR §182.4(a)(9) require the record to relate to a matter before a U.S. entity or to U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected to the United States. Unlike a domestic remote act, location outside the U.S. triggers this added condition.
