D
Explanation
The Utrecht Psalter is a singular masterpiece of Carolingian religious art, containing pen illustrative depictions of 166 of the Psalms, created in the mid-ninth century. The fact it is termed as the "Utrecht" Psalter implies it is exclusively known by this name, evidently eliminating options A and B. The "Gospels" referred to in option C specify a segment of the New Testament of the Christian Bible, separate to the Psalms which are in both Old and New Testaments. Hence, option C isn't valid. This leaves us with "D - none of these".
