Solution
Partnership arises from an agreement (A), requires sharing of profits and losses of a business (C), and rests on mutual agency where each partner acts as both principal and agent (D).
Statement (B) is false. Section 6 makes clear that mere co-ownership of property does not create a partnership, since there is no business carried on and no mutual agency. Hence (A), (C) and (D) only.
