The hexadecimal value A is equivalent to the decimal value 10. To convert this to binary, we use the Remainder Method. To do this, we repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 until we get a quotient of 0. The remainders, read in reverse order, will give us the equivalent binary value.

10 ÷ 2 = 5 with a remainder of 0
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with a remainder of 1
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with a remainder of 0
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with a remainder of 1

So, the binary equivalent of 10 (hexadecimal A) is 1010. Therefore, the correct choice is D, which represents the binary value for A.
