D Correct answer
Explanation

Gypsum, aggregate (crushed stone/sand/gravel), and clay are all direct building materials used in construction. Limestone is primarily a source material for cement production (through calcination) rather than a direct building material in its natural form, though crushed limestone can be used as aggregate.
