Correct Answer
C. It may permit changes to the electronic record without leaving any record so long as the notary approves them later.
Detailed Explanation
Tamper evidence is mandatory. 19 NYCRR §182.8(a)(3)-(5) requires secure transmission, a reproduction process that leaves a record of changes, and a method to ensure the record presented is the same one signed by the principal. For contrast, the rule is designed to prevent undetectable alteration, not to allow it with later after-the-fact approval.
