D Correct answer
Explanation

Matelot is a nautical term meaning 'sailor' or 'seaman', derived from the French word for sailor. It has been used in English, particularly in British naval contexts. The other options are incorrect - 'mate a lot' is a misinterpretation, 'soul mate' refers to romantic connection, and 'having a lot of mates' is a colloquial description, not the definition of matelot.
