Explanation

A service registry (C) is a dedicated repository where services publish their metadata - endpoints, contracts, versions, owners - so that consumers and tools can discover and bind to them at runtime or design time. A service inventory (A) refers to a collection of services owned by an enterprise, but it's an architectural concept, not a storage mechanism for metadata. A service composition (B) describes how services are assembled into composite solutions, which has nothing to do with central registration. A service model (D) is a logical description or design artifact for a service, not a place where metadata is stored for discovery.

Memory tip: Think of a registry like a phone book - you register your number (metadata) there so others can look you up (discoverability). A registry registers things; the name gives it away.
