C Correct answer
Explanation

Section 2(2) CPC defines 'decree' as formal expression of adjudication conclusively determining rights of parties with respect to matters in controversy. A preliminary decree that does not finally determine rights is not a 'decree'. For a decree to be final, it must both conclusively determine rights AND be unappealable (appeal period exhausted or no appeal filed). Option C correctly combines both requirements.
