If a partition is formatted, or deleted, then the information saved on that partition is also deleted.

So, if there is any information on the partition you wish saved, backup that information or copy it to another partition or another location before deleting the partition.

If you delete Partition D will it merge with C?

If you will delete a partition, it will not be merged with c insted, you will loose all the data on that partition, and that space will remain as unpartitioned space on hard disk and you will not be able to use it until you re partition that space and format it.
