D. Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.

Explanation:

Marketing goes way beyond selling and covers everything from planning to production and delivery/distribution to the customers. This is because marketing is a key/critical part of the business.

This is seen in businesses who are marketing concept oriented and not selling concept oriented
