Correct Answer: D

Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) always produces an output of 256 bits, or 32 bytes, irrespective of the length of the input data. This property is fundamental to how SHA-256 functions, making it a reliable algorithm for ensuring data integrity and security. Regardless of whether the input is a few bytes or millions of bytes, the hash value it generates will always be the fixed size of 256 bits.
