14B You can use index, middle then into a standard d chord fingering or use the middle ring and pinky. Isolated like this common sense says go with the standard d chord shape at the end (index middle ring) but sometimes you might have to use middle ring and pinky to play the d chord. Its good to be able to play the d chord both ways as its very quick to go into a C or F chord after middle ring pinky approach to a d chord.
Try doing a D chord played middle pinky ring, (middle on g string 2nd fret, pinky on b string, third fret and ring finger e string, second fret) then keep the middle finger planted on the 3rd string and rotate into an f chord. You'll see what I mean.

Anywhere there is a D/F or D7/F or similar shaped chord, I always play them with the thumb wrapped to grab the low E. I even play it this way on "Dust in the Wind."
