Answer: (D)

The command headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, is the one that oversees all U.S. Special Operations Forces. This unified command focuses on unconventional warfare, direct action, special reconnaissance, counterterrorism, and other specialized missions, and MacDill serves as its global hub for planning, training, and command and control. The other major unified commands are based elsewhere: Strategic Command is at Offutt AFB in Nebraska, Transportation Command at Scott AFB in Illinois, and European Command is in Stuttgart, Germany. Remembering that MacDill is tied to special operations helps you match the base location to the correct command.
