Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: D. D: A car assembled in Ohio using imported parts.

CBP keyed D as the one that is not wholly obtained or produced. The wholly-obtained list covers goods extracted, harvested, born and raised, or taken in the country, such as coal mined there, a vegetable harvested there, and a good taken from outer space by that country. A car assembled from imported parts uses materials from other countries, so it is not wholly obtained.

A mineral good extracted in that country; 19 CFR 102.1(g)(1)
A vegetable or plant good harvested in that country; 19 CFR 102.1(g)(2)
A good taken from outer space, provided they are obtained by that country or a person of that country; 19 CFR 102.1(g)(8)
