Sum equation of half adder is A XOR B. Hence option D is correct.

The xor operation is responsible for Modulo 2 addition i.e. a+b => (a+b)(mod 2) for 1 bit binary computations e.g. CRC calculation. Hence half adder (adds 2 bits) called xor circuit. Carry(a AND b) is required if multi-bit calculation is needed as propagator.
