Explanation

In Magento 2, custom modules live under app/code/<Vendor>/<Module>, making D correct - this is where Magento looks for user-created or third-party modules, and registration.php in that directory tells Magento the module exists and how to load it. Option A (app/modules/) is not a real Magento directory structure. Option B (vendor/modules/) conflates the vendor/ folder, which is reserved for Composer-managed packages, not hand-crafted modules. Option C (lib/) is for framework-level libraries and shared utilities, not module registration.

Memory tip: Think "app/code = your code" - anything you write goes in app/code, while vendor/ is for packages you install, not ones you create.
