If the deed says A will not share losses but will share profits, how will A be treated in loss distribution?

Correct answer: A will not be charged loss

The governing concept is that the partnership deed controls the agreed rights and obligations of partners. Here the deed expressly states that A will participate in profits but will not bear losses. That specific agreement must be followed for loss distribution, unless it is legally invalid under the applicable partnership law. Therefore A is excluded from the loss, and the loss is distributed among the remaining partners according to their agreed loss-sharing ratio or, where relevant, the applicable default rule. Option A is correct. Options B, C, and D incorrectly impose a loss on A by assuming that profit sharing automatically requires identical loss sharing, which is not true when the deed clearly provides otherwise.
