Final answer:

A partnership can be dissolved for multiple reasons including a partner leaving against the agreement, an event that makes the partnership unlawful, the perishing of an asset promised for contribution, or the loss of an asset where only its use was transferred.

The correct answer is E.

Step-by-step explanation:

A partnership can be dissolved due to various reasons. These include the scenario where a partner acts in contravention of the partnership agreement by expressing their will to leave the partnership at any time. Likewise, if an unlawful event occurs which makes the continuation of the business illegal or impossible for the partners, dissolution is inevitable.

Additionally, if a specific asset promised as a capital contribution by a partner perishes before its delivery, it can lead to the dissolution of the partnership. Furthermore, if a partner has contributed something but retained ownership, only transferring its use or enjoyment, and the thing is lost either before or after delivery, this can also be grounds for dissolving the partnership. Hence, considering all provided scenarios, the correct answer is e. All of the above.
