Correct Answer

A. Real Property Law §309-a.

Detailed Explanation

Within-state and without-state forms are separated in Article 9. Real Property Law §309-a supplies the uniform form for certificates of acknowledgment or proof within New York, while §309-b addresses acknowledgments or proofs taken without the state. Not to be confused with Banking Law §335 or CPLR 3113, which govern entirely different subjects.
