To find the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin, we first need to calculate the total frequency of consonants: K + N + D = 120 + 105 + 135 = 360.

Then, we divide the total frequency of consonants by the total number of outcomes: 360/500 = 0.72.

Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72.

So, the correct answer is: 0.72
