D Correct answer
Explanation

'Nobody of them' is incorrect. When referring to 'none' from a group of people, the correct phrase is 'none of them' or 'nobody from them'. 'Nobody of them' mixes pronouns incorrectly. The sentence should read 'none of them was interested' or 'nobody from them was interested'.
