Answer: (D)

Saving a selection from a layer’s nontransparent pixels starts by turning that layer’s visible, opaque areas into a selection. Do this by Ctrl/Cmd-clicking the Flower layer’s thumbnail in the Layers panel. That loads a selection of all the nontransparent parts of that layer. Then go to the Select menu and choose Save Selection. In the dialog, type Foreground as the name and accept the defaults, then click OK. This creates a new alpha channel named Foreground that exactly contains the nontransparent pixels from the Flowers layer, so you can reuse that precise selection later. If you cancel the dialog, or clear the selection, you won’t save the new channel.
