I chose D however I believe A is somewhat confusing because root shouldn't be used by the application and it is privilege shouldn't be minimized for application use. Very confusing

Go with D, not A. A is saying root does NOT have the required minimum permissions for the application. Which is fine....if you're not using root for the application, then who cares. Nowhere does it say, "root is being used for application access".
