    Correct Answer

    Explanation

Therefore, the correct answer is E flat major.

    Correct Answer
    M. B minor
    Explanation
    The relative minor of a key is the key that shares the same key signature but starts on a different note. In this case, the correct answer is B minor because it shares the same key signature as D major, which has two sharps (F# and C#). The relative minor of D major is always the sixth note of the major scale, which is B. Therefore, the relative minor of D major is B minor.
