    D) The probability is proportional to the absolute value of ψ squared.

    Explanation:

    since ψ² represents probability density (ψ alone represents probability amplitude), then the probability is proportional to ψ².

    also since the probability to over all the possible values inside the volume element should sum 1

    ∫ψ² dV = 1
