D Correct answer
Explanation

Proxima Centauri is the closest known star to the Sun at approximately 4.24 light-years away. It is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. Note that option C has a typo - it should read 'Alpha Centauri' not 'Alpha Cetauri'. Sirius and Bernard's Star are both nearby but not the nearest.
