Answer:

D) Select several workers to be laid off

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the construction company has 12 workers who are paid minimum wage. But the company wants to reduce costs because there is less work then the company has to select several workers to be laid off though the companies costs will be saved. As the company has less work if the company will make the workers work more quickly, then also the company has to pay the wage of the workers. But if the company will the choose option 'D' it will help the company to save its costs.
