Correct Answer
C. The platform does not satisfy the communication-technology standards for electronic notarial acts.
Detailed Explanation
Communication technology must do more than support conversation. 19 NYCRR §182.8 requires sufficient live audio and visual clarity, the ability to view and capture the front and back of identification, secure transmission, and a reproduction process that leaves a record of additions, deletions, or changes. Importantly, personal knowledge of identity does not waive the platform standards themselves.
