D Correct answer
Explanation

A maverick is an independent-minded nonconformist, and mutinous means rebellious against authority. A virtuoso is a highly skilled person, and skillful describes possessing skill. Both pairs show a person and their characteristic quality. The other pairs don't show this clear relationship - hypochondriac isn't defined by dubiousness, autocrats aren't characterized by infallibility, and savants aren't defined by skepticism.
