D Is Correct. 

A product will only be counted in GDP one time in its life. So, current transactions involving assets and property produced in previous periods are not counted in the current GDP. For instance, if a car produced in the year 2000 is resold in 2015, the GDP of 2015 will not include the resale value of the laptop because this is a mere transfer of ownership entailing no creation of new value. 

Purely financial transactions, such as the purchase of stocks, bonds, or certificates of deposit, are not counted. We exclude these items because they are not examples of production of goods and services. These transactions simply involve the transfer of assets from one entity to another. Broker services for trading stocks are included since broker services are newly produced services, part of a nation's GDP. 

Other things not included in the GDP are government social security and welfare payments. Since GDP measures the market values of goods and services, economic activities that do not pass through the regular market channels are excluded in the computation of GDP.                                                                                         

Economic activity that is not part of GDP estimates is unpaid labor, services that people provide for free. The three most important sources of unpaid labor are professionals, volunteers, and homemakers. Think about the massive amount of work done by homemakers for their families. When a family pays a cleaning person, a nanny, or a cook, it is considered part of the GDP. However, when people devote time and effort to cleaning their own homes, taking care of their own children, and cooking for their own families, it is not counted, even though such labor has significant value.

@Mzp662829541 that's correct. 

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to DNA that can be extracted from environmental samples, such as water, soil or faeces, without first isolating any target organisms.

eDNA is characterized by a complex mixture of nuclear, mitochondrial or chloroplast DNA, and can be intracellular (from living cells) or extracellular. It enables the detection of a species regardless of its life stage or gender.
