D Correct answer
Explanation

The DUPLICATE DATABASE command with FROM ACTIVE DATABASE clause tells RMAN to duplicate the target database over the network instead of using pre-existing backups. This is used for active database duplication where RMAN connects to the target database and copies data files directly. The other options (from target database, from live database, from source database) are not valid RMAN clause syntax for this purpose.
