The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The principle states that the sale of property is complete when the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. In this case, A has already agreed to sell the car to B. The agreement between them is sufficient for the sale to be complete. The fact that B requested A to keep the car for one month does not alter the completion of the sale. Hence, the sale is complete as soon as the transaction is agreed upon. Therefore, option (A) is correct.
Option (B) is incorrect because the sale is already complete once A and B have agreed upon the terms. Option (C) is incorrect as it introduces an additional condition not required by the principle. Option (D) is incorrect because the sale is already complete; the one-month delay is merely for the storage of the car, not the completion of the sale.
