Which offense is punishable by imprisonment for up to 4 years?

AI Explanation

Class E felony timing matters. Penal Law §175.40 makes issuing a false certificate a class E felony, and Penal Law §70.00(2)(e) fixes the maximum term at 4 years. For contrast, forgery in the second degree under §170.10 is the more serious class D felony with a 7-year maximum, while official misconduct under §195.00 is only a class A misdemeanor with up to 1 year under §70.15.
