D.

Explanation:

GDP (Gross domestic product), is a measure of a country's economic output that accounts for its number of people.

GDP is the value of the final goods and services produced.

A final good is an item bought by its final user during a specified time period. A final good contrast with an intermediate good, which is an item that is produced by one firm, bought by another firm, and used as a component of a final good or service.

Excluding intermediate goods and services avoids double counting.
