D Correct answer
Explanation

GTO stands for 'Gran Turismo Omologato' in Italian, meaning 'Grand Touring Homologated' in English. The 'O' stands for 'Omologato' (homologated/certified), indicating the car is certified for racing but also road-legal. Ferrari first used this designation with the iconic 1962 250 GTO. 'Omologato' is Italian for homologated - the process of certifying a vehicle meets regulations for competition use while remaining street legal.
