Explanation
'None' (not one) stands in for an unspecified number of cars — it does not point to particular cars, so it is not demonstrative. Distributive pronouns (each, either, neither) pick members out one by one; 'none' simply denotes an indefinite zero quantity. Indefinite pronouns refer to unspecified persons, things, or amounts, and 'none' is the textbook example — confirmed by prepp.in, Oswaal, embibe, and abhipedia keys for this item. Hence (D).
