Correct Answer
A. The secretary of state and others as necessary in relation to the notary’s obligations
Detailed Explanation
Part 182 recordkeeping is not merely private retention. 19 NYCRR §182.9(c) states that records maintained pursuant to the Part must be capable of being produced to the secretary of state and others as necessary in relation to the notary public’s obligations under the Executive Law and the Part. For contrast, subdivision (b) governs the ten-year retention period, not who may require production.
