Answer
A
US workers are not affected when jobs are outsourced.
B
US workers have to move internationally to do their jobs.
C
More people come to the US to lighten US workers' workload.
D
Workers in foreign countries do US workers' jobs for less money.

Explanation

When a company outsources a job, it has workers in another country do that work instead of workers in the United States. Companies may do this because workers in less-developed countries can do the job for less money. This can reduce job opportunities for US workers. The best answer is “Workers in foreign countries do US workers' jobs for less money.”
