D Correct answer
Explanation

Slotting cannot be performed on a lathe - it requires a slotter machine or shaper. Lathes are designed for rotating workpieces and perform operations like facing (surfacing the end), drilling (with tailstock support), and thread cutting (using lead screw). Slotting involves linear reciprocating motion, incompatible with lathe operation.
