D Correct answer
Explanation

A non-relocatable program is bound to specific memory addresses during compilation and cannot be loaded at different memory locations. Option 1 incorrectly states it contains relocation information (which would make it relocatable). Option 3 incorrectly claims it can self-relocate (which would also make it relocatable). Both statements are false for a non-relocatable program.
