D Correct answer
Explanation

Parity errors occur when memory parity checking detects corrupted data. Parity bits are used in RAM modules for error detection, and when the parity check fails, it indicates a memory problem. Hard drives use different error checking (CRC/ECC), I/O controllers have their own diagnostics, and power supplies don't generate parity errors.
