A

The witness’s place of residence, and if in a city, the street and street number, if any

The witness’s date of birth

C

The witness’s citizenship status

D

The witness’s political party

Correct Answer

A. The witness’s place of residence, and if in a city, the street and street number, if any

AI Explanation

Proof by subscribing witness has a specific residence requirement. Real Property Law §304 requires the witness to state the place of residence and, if the residence is in a city, the street and street number, if any. For contrast, the statute does not ask for age, citizenship, or other personal background details.
