We can factorize 48 as 2^4 * 3.
The prime factors of 11 are 11 itself. 
The LCM will the highest power of each prime factor present in the numbers.

The highest power of 2 in 48 is 2^4. 
The power of 2 in 11 is 2^0.

The highest power of 3 in 48 is 3^1. 
The power of 3 in 11 is 3^0.

The LCM is 2^4 * 3^1 * 11^1 = 1296.

Therefore, the best choice is D.
