D Correct answer
Explanation

Cadherin, selectin, integrin and Igs are considered as cell adhesion molecules. Cadherins have stable cell junction to form desmosome whereas integrin forms hemidesmosome and it binds to an extracellular matrix protein ligand. Ig binds to integrin as ligand but the cell junction is unstable.
