We study the vector, scalar and tensor form factors for the semileptonic process D→K by using lattice Quantum Chromodynamcs (QCD). Chiral lattice fermions are used in our study: overlap fermion for the valence quark and domain-wall fermion for the sea. The 2+1-flavor configurations are from the RBC-UKQCD Collaborations with an inverse lattice spacing 1/a=2.383(9) GeV. A modified z-expansion taking into account valence quark mass dependence is used to fit our numerical results of the form factors at a fixed pion mass ∼360 MeV in the sea. At the physical valence quark mass point we give the preliminary results f+(0)=f0(0)=0.760(39) and fT(0)=0.733(50) with only statistical uncertainties. For fT the number is given in the MS scheme at a scale of 2 GeV.
