There is no software that will merge the two volumes while keeping all of the data intact.
There is however, partitioning software which will for example, expand the C: drive and simultaneously shrink the D: drive by up to the amount of empty capacity on D: drive. See Paragon or Acronis for said software, for example.
If you still want to merge the volumes, you will have to
a) back up the D: volume (since playing with partitions, you "should" back up all volumes for safety)
b) delete the D: volume either with Disk Manager or with the partitioning software
c) use partitioning software to expand the C: volume to take up all of the capacity formerly held by D:
d) restore the data formerly on the D: volume to the newly expanded C: volume.
Note: if any applications were installed on D: or referred to data on D:, may need to be re-installed to refer properly to their new home on C: volume; shares formerly on D: will have to be re-created; and other references to D: volume will have to be fixed.
