Explanation

Dissolution by agreement under Section 40 of the Indian Partnership Act occurs when all partners mutually agree to end the partnership. It's a consensual dissolution - the partners decide together to wind up the firm. Option A describes dissolution by adjudication (insolvency), and Option C describes dissolution by supervening illegality - both are different grounds for dissolution, not 'dissolution by agreement'. Only Option B correctly defines this concept.
