Final answer:

In 'The Great Gatsby', Myrtle is killed by a car driven by Tom Buchanan.

Step-by-step explanation:

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel 'The Great Gatsby', the car that kills Myrtle is driven by (D) Tom. Tom Buchanan, who is Myrtle's lover, is driving Gatsby's yellow Rolls-Royce when the accident occurs. Myrtle runs towards the car, thinking that it is Tom in it, and gets hit by the car. This event plays a significant role in the development of the story and leads to further consequences.
