D Correct answer
Explanation

The CONFIGURE ... CLEAR command in RMAN resets the specified configuration parameter back to its default value. For the retention policy, the default setting is REDUNDANCY 1. It does not remove the retention policy entirely, nor does it cause the DELETE OBSOLETE command to fail.
