A) needed by workers so that they could produce
(B) needed when workers are producing
(C) workers need in producing
(D) workers needed to produce
(E) workers need for their producing of

A & B clear off
since these both are events which happened in he past, we should go for using a simple past tense. Hence D clearly stands out.
