Solution
Section 44 lists the grounds on which a court may order dissolution. Persistent breach of the agreement (A), transfer of a partner's entire interest to an outsider (B), and a business that can only be run at a loss (D) are all statutory grounds.
Death of a partner (C) causes dissolution by operation of law automatically, so no court order is involved. Hence (A), (B) and (D) only.
