Correct Answer
D. Part 182 records may be destroyed after one year if the audio-video recording is retained.
Detailed Explanation
Recordkeeping lasts much longer than one year. 19 NYCRR §182.9(a)-(b) requires contemporaneous records and retention for at least ten years, even when storage is through a safeguarded third party. Not to be confused with the separate audio-video recording requirement under §182.8; retaining the recording does not shorten the recordkeeping period.
