D. he is arrested for perjury

Explanation:

Perjury is the action of deliberately telling a lie to a person or to the government, depending on the state the penalty varies and in federal instances it can lead up to a five year sentence in prison. If the judge discovers that he is single and has no elderly family that depend on him at home, he can be trialed for perjury, but most of the times it only ends up in a fine.
