(D) Given $t_n = \frac{1}{4}(n + 2)(n + 3)$.We need to find the sum $S = \sum_{n=1}^{2003} \frac{1}{t_n}$.Substituting the expression for $t_n$,we get $\frac{1}{t_n} = \frac{4}{(n+2)(n+3)}$.Using partial fractions,$\frac{1}{(n+2)(n+3)} = \frac{1}{n+2} - \frac{1}{n+3}$.Thus,$S = 4 \sum_{n=1}^{2003} \left( \frac{1}{n+2} - \frac{1}{n+3} ight)$.This is a telescoping series: $S = 4 \left[ (\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4}) + (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5}) + \dots + (\frac{1}{2005} - \frac{1}{2006}) ight]$.All intermediate terms cancel out,leaving $S = 4 \left( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{2006} ight)$.$S = 4 \left( \frac{2006 - 3}{3 	imes 2006} ight) = 4 	imes \frac{2003}{6018} = \frac{8012}{6018} = \frac{4006}{3009}$.

If $t_n = \frac{1}{4}(n + 2)(n + 3)$ for $n = 1, 2, 3, \dots$,then $\frac{1}{t_1} + \frac{1}{t_2} + \frac{1}{t_3} + \dots + \frac{1}{t_{2003}} = $
