Correct Answer
B. Either physically or electronically, in a manner meeting all requirements imposed by Part 182
Detailed Explanation
Part 182 expands appearance to include compliant electronic presence. 19 NYCRR §182.2(k) defines personal appearance as presence at a transaction for which a notarial act is required, either physically or electronically, in a manner meeting all Part 182 requirements. Not to be confused with pre-2023 informal remote practices, a phone call or email alone is not compliant personal appearance.
