If I create a file, I am the owner. If I get to say who it's shared with, then I can share it at my discretion. Therefore, Discretionary Access Control (DAC).

Unlike Mandatory Access Control (MAC) where access to system resources is controlled by the operating system (under the control of a system administrator), Discretionary Access Control (DAC) allows each user to control access to their own data. DAC is typically the default access control mechanism for most desktop operating systems.

Cannot be D. Under Rules Based Access Control, access is allowed or denied to resource objects based on a set of rules defined by a system administrator. Here system admin allows data owners to manage and enforce access control rules.
