D Correct answer
Explanation

A modular switch is characterized by flexible physical characteristics - it typically has a chassis with multiple slots allowing line cards or modules to be added, removed, or upgraded as needed. This provides scalability and investment protection. It's not defined by being slim-line or having fixed characteristics.
