A county clerk's authentication certificate
Correct Answer
B. An oral statement made under oath in a proceeding before a court, agency, body, public servant, or other authorized person
AI Explanation
Testimony is defined as sworn oral rather than subscribed written matter. Penal Law §210.00(3) defines testimony as an oral statement made under oath in a proceeding before a court, body, agency, public servant, or other authorized person. Unlike second-degree perjury, which focuses on certain sworn writings, first-degree perjury turns on false testimony.
