I think your choice of categories is somewhat misleading; Bach never wrote a 'Prelude in D major' but Rachmaninoff did, he wrote it in 1903. Try using the opus number, or a similar number that distinguishes works from each other e.g. Sibelius' 'Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43' and Beethoven's 'Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36'.

In order to know when this prelude was written you'd need to know who composed it. Preludes are short pieces of music, generally for piano, and many different composers have written them, in various keys. "Prelude in D Major" isn't enough information.
It was written in 1722, while he was working in Ahnalt-Cothen. Frankly, aside from his own usage and (especially) the musical training of his own family and his students, it is debatable if they were ever performed it in public. They were not published for the first time until 1801, 51 years after his death.
Lots of composers wrote preludes and fugues in C minor. Some composed several preludes and fugues in this key.
Toccata and Fugue in D minor was first published in 1833 through Felix. It is a piece of organ music that has been attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Between 1708 and 1714

Apparently, in this prelude Chopin was trying to evoke the sound of drumming rain. The soft opening leads into a second, very dramatic section which sounds like a violent storm; this then recedes back to the gentle drumming of rain like in the first section. The repeated Ab in the left hand supposedly evokes pattering raindrops.
The Prelude in D flat ("Raindrop") is one of Chopin's Piano Preludes, Opus 28. #15. The genre is "Piano Prelude" or "Piano Miniature."

They should, as there weren't any major mechanical differences between the two.
It is in C major. But really it sounds neither major or minor.
