Answer: D.In honor of the town near its discovery

Explanation:

The Rosetta Stone is a stone which was discovered in 1799, in a small Egyptian village of el-Rashid, known as Rosetta. This is how the stone got its name. The stone is about 44 inches tall and 30 inches wide, while it is believed that it dates back to 196 BC. As of 1802, it can be seen in the British Museum in London.
