Skew lines are the lines that are neither parallel nor intersecting.

The above statement is not possible for coplanar lines so it can be concluded that skew lines are non coplanar.

Hence the statement Lines that do not intersect and are not in the same plane which is option D justifies the definition of skew lines.

Hence option D is correct.
