D Correct answer
Explanation

Option D is correct. Section 57 of the Evidence Act requires courts to take judicial notice (accept without proof) of facts that are matters of general public knowledge. Both option A (Gazetted Holidays observed by Government of India) and option B (rules of road) are matters of common public knowledge that every court is presumed to know without formal evidence. Section 57(f) covers matters of general public knowledge, and Section 57(g) covers official notifications. Both fall within judicial notice.
