D Correct answer
Explanation

Rajasthan literally means 'Land of the Kings' or 'Abode of the Kings' in Sanskrit - 'Raja' means king and 'Sthan' means place. It was historically ruled by numerous Rajput kings and their kingdoms. 'Land of Forts' is a common description but not the literal meaning, and 'Country of Rajputs' is close but 'Rajasthan' itself doesn't mean country.
