This is supported by several narrations, including the view of Qatadah and Ibn Kathir's Tafsir, which state that Noah lived 950 years in total: 300 years before his prophethood, 300 years calling his people, and 350 years after the Flood. Other narrations mention slightly different figures, such as 1050 or 1700 years, but 950 years is the most widely accepted and cited lifespan. Therefore, the correct answer is D (950).
