As far as I know it's to do with the 'radius' away from the penalty spot. When a penna is been taken the rest of the players have to be a certain distance away from the penalty spot, and the D provides the means of keeping them the correct distance away.

DD is correct. The D makes sure that all players (other than the penalty taker and keeper) are the same distance away from the penalty spot (and therefore the ball).

Yup, the D is fantastic for us referees so we can catch infringing players who step in close than ten yards when they are not the penalty taker.
Punishment is a yellow card otherwise known as a caution.
