Why each option

Access management in ITIL controls who is authorized to use a service or group of services by managing user rights.

AProviding physical security for staff at data centers and other buildings

Providing physical security for staff is a facilities or corporate security management responsibility and falls outside the scope of the ITIL access management process.

BManaging access to computer rooms and other secure locations

Managing access to computer rooms is a physical security concern handled by facilities management, not the ITIL access management process which governs logical service access.

CManaging access to the service desk

The service desk is an open point of contact for all users and is not a controlled resource whose access is governed by the access management process.

DManaging the rights to use a service or group of servicesCorrect

Access management is the ITIL process responsible for granting authorized users the right to use a service, and preventing access by unauthorized users. It implements the policies set by information security management and handles the full lifecycle of access rights - granting, modifying, and revoking them. This process applies to logical access to IT services, not physical locations.
