Chromosome walking refers to the process of sequencing a particular stretch of DNA by starting with a known sequence and then "walking" along the chromosome, one small step at a time, until the target sequence is obtained. This method is best suited for organisms with small genome sizes and a small amount of dispersed repetitive DNA. Therefore, the answer is D.
