If you answered D, you are correct. It's in the lemon family. It is a Citron Medica, also called Buddha's Hand, or Fingered Citron. I saw this in a food market yesterday, $7.99 each.

...The hand is supposed to be one of the most ancient citrus known to man, originating in India thousands of years ago. It is cultivated for its fragrant rind, which is used to flavor dishes, is candied or is turned into marmalade...

A woman nearby asked what it was. I read the sign and told her. She replied "If you eat it, do you become enlightened? For that kind of money, I would hope so.
