Correct Answer

A. The name of that other jurisdiction.

Detailed Explanation

The out-of-jurisdiction clause has a specific disclosure requirement. Executive Law §135 allows a New York notary, for use in another jurisdiction, to exercise other powers and duties recognized by the laws of nations, commercial usage, or another government, provided the notary sets forth the name of that other jurisdiction. Unlike a routine New York acknowledgment, that extra identification of jurisdiction must be stated.
