D Correct answer
Explanation

Fe is the chemical symbol for iron, derived from its Latin name 'ferrum.' This naming convention follows the pattern where many element symbols come from their Latin names (e.g., Na for sodium from 'natrium,' Au for gold from 'aurum'). Ir is iridium, Zn is zinc, and Tn is not a valid chemical symbol.
