Correct Answer
B. Ineligible again to be appointed commissioner of deeds and also ineligible thereafter for appointment as notary public.
AI Explanation
Removal as a New York City commissioner of deeds has continuing appointment consequences. Executive Law §140(14) states that such a person is thereafter ineligible again to be appointed commissioner of deeds and is also ineligible thereafter for appointment to the office of notary public. Not to be confused with §140(15), which separately makes post-removal signing as a commissioner of deeds or notary public a misdemeanor.
