The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Assertion (A) is correct: Registration of a partnership firm under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is not compulsory by law, and no legal penalty is imposed for non-registration. Reason (R) is incorrect: An unregistered partnership firm cannot file a suit in a court against any third party, the firm, or the partners to enforce contractual rights. This is a legal restriction placed on unregistered firms to encourage registration. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
