Correct Answer
B. An ordinary oath is $2, but certain official oaths of office must be administered without fee.
Detailed Explanation
Ordinary and official oaths do not share the same fee rule. Executive Law §136 sets the ordinary oath or affirmation fee at $2, while Public Officers Law §69 prohibits charging for certain official oaths of office. For contrast, a private affidavit oath is still within the ordinary fee schedule, but the oath of office for a public officer or employee is the free one.
