D. The port is removed from the EtherChannel group.

Explanation:

The configuration SPAN is when we copy traffic, and we transfer that traffic to another port, in this case, we can analyze that traffic in our benefit.

If a physical port belongs to the EtherChannel group, it can be configured as a SPAN source port and still be a part of the EtherChannel.

But a physical port cannot be configured as a SPAN destination and belong to the EtherChannel group.

This means we can be the SPAN source but not the SPAN destination.
