Correct Answer

B. It must be mailed within 10 days after opening.

Detailed Explanation

The follow-up mailing deadline is ten days. Banking Law §335(1)(c) requires a copy of the notary’s certificate to be mailed within ten days after the opening to the lessee’s last known post-office address. For contrast, the thirty-day period in the same statute is the pre-opening notice period, not the post-opening mailing deadline.
