NORTH has a big hand - 22+HCP balanced or 20/21+ HCP unbalanced. If you have 0-6 HCPs your response is 2D (the waiting bid) Also you may have 8+ HCPs but no good bid (e.g. 4441 distribution.

Your partner has opened and has 6 diamonds and lots of HCPs. You have 15 HCPs and all 4 suits have been bid so you should be in game. So should it be in diamonds or 3NT? 3NT is always better than a minor, so 3NT.

You have 10+HCPs and no fit, so you XX. This means that you have 10+ HCPs and no fit.
The alternative is to bid 2C.

Your partner has cue bid 3D, saying that they have HCPs, as you have stoppers in diamonds and >16 HCPs, bid 3NT.
