To determine the correct formula for nitrogen trifluoride, we need to understand the chemical nomenclature for this type of compound. Nitrogen trifluoride is a binary compound consisting of nitrogen and fluorine.

1. Identify the elements involved: Nitrogen (N) and Fluorine (F).
2. Determine the prefixes according to the number of atoms:
- "Tri-" indicates three fluorine atoms.

3. Write the formula based on the prefixes:
- "Nitrogen" (N) remains as is.
- "Tri-" for three fluorine atoms translates to [tex]\(F_3\)[/tex].

Therefore, combining these elements, the correct formula is [tex]\(NF_3\)[/tex].

Hence, the correct answer is:
D. [tex]\(NF_3\)[/tex]
