B Correct answer
Explanation

The batch script uses parameter substitution where %1, %2, and %3 represent command-line arguments. When executed with 'test.bat xcopy d: test.txt', these become: %1=xcopy, %2=d:, %3=test.txt. The command expands to 'xcopy d:\test.txt .\' which copies the file from D drive to the current directory.
