D Correct answer
Explanation

The points winner (green jersey/sprint specialist) is least likely to be the overall winner because sprinters typically lose significant time in mountain stages and time trials. Since the 1990s, pure sprinters rarely compete for the overall classification. Other options - young rider, King of Mountains, and combativity award winners - all frequently compete for overall victory.
