D Correct answer
Explanation

'The majority of workers' takes a plural verb because it refers to multiple individual workers. Even though 'majority' is singular in form, phrases like 'majority of + plural noun' use plural verbs. 'Has' and 'was' are singular, while 'were' doesn't match the present perfect context with 'come'.
