The answer is D: an account of somebody’s life written or produced by another person.

A biography is a non-fictional literary rendition of the main events that transpired in a person´s life, but not written by the latter (when a person writes his or her own life events, that´s called an autobiography).

Like all non-fiction, the events that are narrated should be verifiable and they should be based on reliable sources.
