Correct Answer
C. Forgery in the second degree
AI Explanation
This is the class D felony figure. Penal Law §170.10 makes forgery in the second degree a class D felony, and Penal Law §70.00(2)(d) sets the maximum term at 7 years. For contrast, issuing a false certificate under §175.40 carries the lower class E / 4-year pairing, while official misconduct under §195.00 is a class A misdemeanor.
