Correct Answer
A. A misdemeanor.
Detailed Explanation
Removal has ongoing consequences. Executive Law §140(15) states that a person removed from office as a New York City commissioner of deeds who, after knowledge of removal, signs or executes any instrument as a commissioner of deeds or notary public is guilty of a misdemeanor. Unlike a curable defect under §142-a, this is direct criminal conduct after removal.
