To convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin, we use the formula K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9. Therefore, K = (104 + 459.67) × 5/9 = 313 K. Choice A can be eliminated immediately as it is too low of a value. Choice B and C are both too high of values. Choice E is also too high of a value and does not make sense in this context. Therefore, the answer is D (313).
