Explanation

Option D is correct because Magento (the platform this question targets) has a dedicated Marketing > URL Rewrites section specifically designed for creating redirects between URLs. When you create a "Custom" rewrite, you set the Request Path (the old URL, /promo-2022) and the Target Path (the homepage, /), then select the redirect type (301 for permanent, 302 for temporary) - this is exactly the workflow for preventing 404s on discontinued pages.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - "Reports > Marketing > Promotions" is for viewing promotional data and campaign reports, not for managing URL routing.
• B - "Stores > Configuration > Web" handles general site URL settings (base URLs, trailing slashes, etc.), not individual page redirects; there is no "URL Rewrites" subsection there.
• C - Editing the URL key of a page in "Content > Pages" changes the page's current URL, but the old page is discontinued (likely deleted), so there's no page record to edit - and this also wouldn't create a true redirect anyway.

Memory tip: Think "Marketing manages redirects" - since old promo pages are a marketing concern, Magento logically places URL Rewrites under the Marketing menu. The word "rewrite" is the giveaway: you're rewriting what the old URL resolves to.
