D Correct answer
Explanation

The AccessController class is used for Java security management. Statements a, b, and c are true: AccessController can mark code as privileged using doPrivileged(), decides access based on security policy, and can capture calling context via getContext(). Statement d is false - cryptographic hash computation is performed by classes like MessageDigest, not AccessController.
