To rotate a point 90° clockwise about the origin, you can use the following transformation for the coordinates \( (x, y) \):

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)
\]

For point N, the original coordinates are \( N(5, 4) \). Applying the transformation:

\[
N' = (y, -x) = (4, -5)
\]

So the coordinates of \( N' \) are \( (4, -5) \).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**D. N'(4, –5)**
