I will go with Option D as they can be more productive if their job involves conducting field research at least once a week in locations that are closer to employees' homes than to their office, it will save their time in commute.

VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:

Correct Answer: D

Solution: D. In this situation question, the goal of the policy (which is analogous to the conclusion of an argument) can be found in the question stem instead of in the stimulus. The goal is to increase productivity; the way to achieve that goal, it is suggested, is by giving employees the freedom to work at home. Look for an additional premise that supports that goal. Choice D would help make employees more productive because they would spend less time in transit between the office and the research sites. Choices A and E would be difficult to achieve if employees can choose the day they want to work from home and they choose different days. Choice B is out of scope. There is no information about how this external consultation would be affected by working at home. Similarly, choice C does not stipulate how a supervisor's approval can be obtained and whether it would be harder to obtain while working at home.
