D
Substitution is a method that requires you to replace a variable with other variables. In this question, there are two variables (X and Y), so you need to find out the expression of X in terms of Y, and vice versa.
The other 3 choices can also be used for solving the system. Substitution is primarily used in solving quadratic functions.
