Utilization refers to the actual output of the plant compared to its capacity. In this case, the plant's capacity is 10,000 board feet per day. The plant only produced an average of 4,575 board feet per day, so its utilization can be calculated as (4,575 / 10,000) x 100% = 45.75%. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
