Notice that each member of the crew resurfaced 1/8 of a mile of the road.

Then in between the 6 members they did a total of :

6 * 1/8 of a mile = 6/8 of a mile = 3/4 of a mile.

We simplified a common factor "2" in numerator an in denominator to reduce the fraction to 3/4.

So, please select answer D in your list of options.
