Clarification:

When the ABC company submitted its Articles of Incorporation to the State of California, they intended to operate as ABC Inc., which implies corporation status with limited liability.

However, if a lawsuit is initiated by XYZ Inc. for breach of contract, and considering that XYZ has filed this case against ABC, the company will shift to being recognized as a partnership subject to unlimited liability. This change occurs because ABC has received notification from the State of California indicating that their Articles of Incorporation were not accepted due to the omission of their Registered Agent on the application forms.
