The scale you described is the D natural minor scale. Here are the notes you provided:

  1. D natural
  2. E natural (whole step up)
  3. F natural (half step up)
  4. G natural (whole step up)
  5. A natural (whole step up)
  6. B flat (half step up)
  7. C natural (whole step up)
  8. D natural (whole step up)

The pattern of intervals (whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole) fits the natural minor scale structure. Therefore, the correct response is:

minor
