Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The Court distinguished a temporary overseas visit from ordinary residence at a place of employment abroad, so affixture failed where "The person ordinarily worked abroad and was still on duty there, rather than home on leave". The Court recognised discretion to order appropriate fresh service; it did not make embassy service the sole method for every overseas person.
