Letter D is correct. Narcissistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Narcissistic personality disorder occurs when an individual has a high sense of self-importance. The symptoms are related to the need to always be the center of attention, a great sense of entitlement, the need for admiration and difficulty dealing with criticism.
