D Correct answer
Explanation

The F-22 Raptor was indeed the first production fighter aircraft with sustained supersonic cruise capability (supercruise) without using afterburners. It entered service in 2005. While the Concorde had supersonic cruise, it was a passenger aircraft not a fighter. Other options like F-16, F-18, and Su-30 require afterburners for supersonic flight.
