Without a third party partition program you won't be able to resize the c:
drive unless you are willing to delete the d: partition. Then you can extend
the c: (if it is the first partition on the drive, check in disk manager) and
then create your D: partition again.

It should work without any problem but as you know things can go wrong
sometimes. I have done this and haven't had any trouble yet. However I have
an image of my operating system install that I always keep up to date.

Once you have unallocated space showing to the right of your C: drive in disk
management, right click on the C: drive and select extend volume. It will ask
how much to extend it.
