Correct Answer
B. The oath of office, duly executed, together with the applicant’s signature
Detailed Explanation
Application paperwork includes more than money. Executive Law §131 requires the oath of office, duly executed before a person authorized to administer an oath, together with the applicant’s signature. For contrast, a certificate of official character comes later under §132 and is not an application prerequisite.
