D draws many features that come from functional programming. But I am 
not aware of any that come specifically from Prolog.

And just to be clear, D aims to be a useful programming language. It is 
not intended as a vehicle for programming language research.

It is also entirely possible for a research language to advance the 
state of the art (i.e. programming language theory), but not be useful. 
That is not what D is about, though.

D's job is to get s*** done quickly and effiently and make money for the 
businesses that use it.
