This legal document specifically pertains to healthcare decisions, not financial matters (eliminating B). It is not related to the distribution of possessions (eliminating A) or sent to probate after death (eliminating C). Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as it accurately defines a durable power of attorney for health care.
