D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'blames' based on the well-known proverb 'A bad workman blames his tools'. This means that incompetent people tend to blame external factors (tools, circumstances, others) instead of accepting their own shortcomings. 'Works', 'plays', and 'fights' don't make sense in this proverbial context.
