D sounds like the correct answer to me. Perjury is specifically about lying in a court of law, not just any false statement.

Haha, 'white under oath'? I think they meant 'while under oath'. Gotta watch out for those typos on the exam!

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. Making a false statement while under oath is a key element of perjury, not making a false statement in general.

But doesn't the element of being under oath only apply to perjury offenses? I think D) is the correct answer.
