D Correct answer
Explanation

Diversification occurs when a business enters a completely new market or industry that is unrelated to its current operations. Since Pizza Hut operates in the fast-food industry and Armani is a luxury fashion brand, this acquisition represents conglomerate diversification. Vertical and horizontal integration involve firms in the same or related supply chains.
