Yes, you are correct. Sentence D, "She wasn't sure whom she could trust," uses "whom" correctly.
To determine whether to use "who" or "whom," you need to understand the difference between subject and object pronouns.
"Who" is a subject pronoun, used when referring to the subject of a sentence or clause. For example, in sentence B, "She found the person who she wanted," "who" is used correctly because it is the subject pronoun referring to the person she wanted.
"Whom" is an object pronoun, used when referring to the object of a verb or preposition. In sentence D, "She wasn't sure whom she could trust," "whom" is used correctly because it is the object pronoun, serving as the object of the verb "trust."
So, sentence D, "She wasn't sure whom she could trust," is the correct usage of "whom."
