B Correct answer
Explanation

Goods are in a deliverable state when they are in such condition that the buyer would be contractually obligated to take delivery. This is the correct legal definition under the Sale of Goods Act. The key is the contractual obligation rather than physical availability or the buyer's mere ability to take delivery. The test is whether the goods meet the contract specifications.
