Explanation:

To determine the major key signature, we analyze the number of sharps. The key signature in the image has three sharps. Using the circle of fifths, the key with three sharps is A Major (the order of sharps is F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#; three sharps correspond to F#, C#, G#, which is A Major).

Answer:

D. A Major
