Answer Explanation:

According to the rules of capitalization, the first letter of a sentence and proper nouns should be capitalized. In option D, "Rocky Mountains" is a proper noun and it is capitalized correctly. Geography is also a proper noun identifying a subject.

In option A, "college" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun.

In option B, it is partly correct however "Western" should be capitalized as it is a proper adjective referring to a specific region.

In option C, "A1 Plumbing Board of Directors" is capitalized correctly, but "range" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.
