Given that:
Chi-square test of goodness of fit: There are several probability distributions, which distributions will fit properly may be question of interest. Hence, desire to test H0: Fitting of the probability distribution to given data is proper good. The test based on Chi-square distribution is used to test this H0. It is called Chi-square test of goodness of fit.
The correct option is D. The number of categories for the variable minus 1.
Because, Under the null hypothesis H0: The theory fits the data well
The degrees for freedom for the Chi-square test of goodness of fit =n-1
