D Correct answer
Explanation

The statement that component testing does not involve regression testing is false. Regression testing can and should occur at the component level when changes are made to a unit or module. After fixing a defect during component testing, re-running related tests ensures the fix hasn't broken other functionality within that component. Component testing (also called unit or module testing) is typically performed by developers, should have planned completion criteria, and includes both new testing and regression testing for maintained code.
