Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Delivery means placing the buyer, or the buyer's nominee, in possession. Section 54 allows tangible immovable property valued below Rs. 100 to be transferred by delivery, but property worth Rs. 500 requires a registered instrument under that provision. A contract for a future sale does not itself create an interest in or charge over the property.
