Correct Answer
A. The oath is treated as if taken within New York under CPLR §2309(c).
Detailed Explanation
CPLR §2309(c) borrows the deed-recording certificate model. It provides that an oath or affirmation taken without the state is treated as if taken within the state if accompanied by the certificate or certificates that would be required to entitle a deed acknowledged without the state to be recorded within the state. Unlike Executive Law §135-c, this is an out-of-state oath rule, not a remote-electronic-notarization rule.
