It's wrong, because the centroid of a right-angled triangle and its centre of gravity is not the same.

The Center of Gravity is the same as the centroid when the density is the same throughout. Center of gravity, the centre of mass and centroid are all the same for simple solids. When doing calculations we can often replace an object with its centre of gravity.

The centroid is defined as a point about which the entire line, area or volume is assumed to be concentrated.
C.G. is defined as a point about which the entire weight of the body is assumed to be concentrated. (solid bodies)
So, the Answer should be D.
Centroid is like C.G. (not same).
