Correct Answer
C. The same as if unmarried
Detailed Explanation
New York abolished the old separate rule for married women in this context. Real Property Law §302 states that the acknowledgment or proof of a conveyance of real property, or of any other written instrument, may be made by a married woman the same as if unmarried. Unlike older historical practices, no special spousal-consent form is required by this section.
