B Correct answer
Explanation

Under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, registration of a partnership firm is complete when the application in prescribed form with prescribed fee and details is delivered to the Registrar of Firms (Section 58). The certificate of registration is merely conclusive evidence of registration, not the completing act. Option B correctly states that registration is complete upon delivery of the application, not upon issuance of the certificate or recording in the register.
