The answer is D. As a predicate nominative

Explanation:

In grammar, some verbs including the verb to be and other verbs such as look, like, seem or become are classified as linking verbs which means they do not express an action but describe the subject by linking this with the complement. This the case of the verb "is" (verb to be) that is the main verb in the sentence "This summer, Joel's plan is to travel". Besides this, in the case of this type of verbs, the word or words that go after the linking verb and complete the idea are called a predicate nominative. In opposition to the direct and indirect object that go after an action verb. This implies in this case, the words "to travel" that is the infinitive in the sentence are a predicate nominative because they go after a linking verb.
