The last game I played, my partner sliced terribly and ended up on another green on another fariway. It wasn't OB but he removed his ball from the green and placed it on the side of the green and then played it back onto the correct green. How many stroke penalty should he have taken?

Here's the complete answer, from the USGA Rules of Golf:
If a player's ball lies on a wrong putting green he must not play the ball as it lies. He must take relief, without penalty, as follows:
The player must lift the ball and drop it within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief.The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a putting green. When dropping the ball within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of the course at a spot that avoids interference by the wrong putting green and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green. The ball may be cleaned when lifted under this Rule.
Penalty for Breach of Rule:
Match play — Loss of hole; Stroke play — Two strokes.

B) 2 stroke penalty for taking part in the ball interior the incorrect place. Thumbs down my a$$. he's not disqualified till the top of the around while he comments and then that is desperate if he disqualified or no longer. So for the needs of the question, the suited answer is B.

No penalty as long as he went to the nearest relief no closer to the hole being played.

it isn't a penalty. you could actually play off of that green BUT golf courses recommend that you drop off of the green to not damage them. no penalty for this action.

There is no penalty but you must not drop nearer the hole you are playing to

None, you can move it, no closer to the right hole, for relief.
