D Correct answer
Explanation

A demultiplexer takes a single input and routes it to one of multiple outputs based on select lines - exactly sending data from one source to multiple destinations. A decoder extracts information, an encoder compresses multiple inputs to fewer outputs, and a multiplexer does the opposite (many-to-one).
