D Correct answer
Explanation

Names can identify various levels of specificity - from a single unique individual to broader categories. A name can identify a specific unique person (like 'John Smith'), a single thing (like 'Mount Everest'), or a class/category of things (like 'car' as a general category). Since all these uses are valid, 'all of the above' is correct.
