D Correct answer
Explanation

In C++, the 'new' keyword is the standard operator for dynamic memory allocation. While malloc and calloc are C functions that can be used in C++, 'new' is the preferred C++ approach because it calls constructors and is type-safe. 'dalloc' is not a standard memory allocation function in C or C++.
