Correct Answer

D. Protest of note or commercial paper

Detailed Explanation

Most core acts are $2, but protest is the cents-based outlier. Executive Law §136 and the booklet schedule set 75 cents for protest of note or commercial paper, with 10 cents for each additional notice up to five. For contrast, oaths, acknowledgments, proof of execution, and swearing a witness are $2 services.
