D
The Tenth Amendment reserves to the states or the people any powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution (nor prohibited to the states), thereby limiting federal authority. Options A is about checks and balances, B describes popular sovereignty, and C describes judicial review—none of which are the Tenth Amendment's specific restriction.
