D Correct answer
Explanation

Unregistered firms face disabilities: cannot sue third parties (A), partners cannot sue the firm (B), and set-off claims are limited to Rs. 100 (C). However, third parties CAN sue unregistered firms - the disability limits the firm's offensive capabilities, not defensive ones.
