D Correct answer
Explanation

When referring back to 'none of' or a negative quantity, we use 'none' (D). 'I saw none of my friends' is the correct construction. 'Nobody' and 'no one' stand alone as pronouns, and 'no' cannot be used in this position.

AI explanation

"None" is the correct choice because it naturally combines with "of" to show absence from a specific group ("none of my friends"). "Nobody" and "no one" are used as standalone pronouns and don't take an "of" phrase in standard usage (you wouldn't say "nobody of my friends"), and "no" alone isn't a pronoun that can stand in this slot.
