Answer: Option D  

Explanation:

Maryland was named on the basis that half of the population was lost while crossing the border. Likewise, California has no such back story but this name was taken from the Spanish romance novel in which California was described as an island which was ruled by a Queen named Calafia.

This island used only tools and weapons which are made up of gold as this was the only metal available in that island.
