To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

In this case, we have $\frac{3}{10} \div \frac{1}{3}$. The reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$ is $\frac{3}{1}$.

So, we have $\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{3}{1}$.

Multiplying the numerators gives us $3 \times 3 = 9$, and multiplying the denominators gives us $10 \times 1 = 10$.

Therefore, $\frac{3}{10} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{10}$.

So, the answer is $\boxed{\text{(D) } \frac{9}{10}}$.
