D Correct answer
Explanation

Pinch harmonics (also known as artificial harmonics) are produced by lightly touching the string with the right-hand thumb while simultaneously picking with the pick, causing the string to vibrate at a harmonic node. Legato uses hammer-ons and pull-offs, wah-wah uses a foot pedal, and string bending uses left-hand finger pressure to change pitch.
