B Correct answer
Explanation

The Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) is responsible for all administrative functions related to unit issuance, redemption, and record-keeping for mutual funds. RTAs maintain investor records, process transactions, and handle KYC compliance. Custodians safekeep securities, trustees oversee fund operations, and bankers handle banking transactions - none of these handle unit issuance/redemption.
