Solution

The correct option is E interact frequently with each other through out the entire workday
Going through the options, we note that A is incorrect because the time people come in (central to the argument) has no relation whatsoever with whether people get interrupted or not, option B is out because consulting with other companies is a non-issue as people would still putting in at least 6 hours of work on a normal day, and option C is also incorrect because it implies that the supervisor would 'eventually' sign off on everybody's work, it is not time bound. However, if C had stated that the supervisor would need to sign off that very day, then C could have been the answer. Option E is also incorrect as people would still be at work 5 days a week so this should not be an issue. This leaves us with D - if the workers are required to interact with each other throughout the ENTIRE day, then the adoption of the given policy would most likely decrease the employee's productivity. Thus, D is the correct answer.
