Answer: D "workers"

Explanation: The word "servitors" in the given passage refers to "jhampanies," so the correct option is "jhampanies."The author is talking about a woman who has already died, but her "jhampanies" continue to reappear, which is spoiling his happiness. He decides to contact the person who employed them and requests them to change their "livery."Here, "jhampanies" are defined as "servitors," which means they are servants or attendants who serve someone. Hence, the closest meaning of servitors in the passage is "jhampanies." making d the correct answer
