D. a plaza mayor surrounded by a grid of streets

Explanation:

The Griffin-Ford model has at its core the financial center and a portion that the authors call the Market in an attempt to differentiate modern offices and hotels from more traditional and informal street-level commerce. From the financial center there is a commercial "spine" that arrives at one in a commercial structure located on the urban fringe, interconnected to the industrial zone via a ring road.
