Which offense is correctly matched with class and maximum term?

AI Explanation

Crime-class matching is a classic New York trap. Penal Law §195.00 makes official misconduct a class A misdemeanor, and Penal Law §70.15 sets a class A misdemeanor maximum term of one year. For contrast, forgery in the second degree under Penal Law §170.10 is a class D felony with up to seven years under §70.00(2)(d), while issuing a false certificate under §175.40 is a class E felony with up to four years under §70.00(2)(e).
