    D. output per worker will increase by less than $5000

    Explanation:

    based on the concept of depreciation, an increase in capital per worker hour for the second time will lead to a less than proportionate increase in real GDP per worker. Therefore, another $10,000 increase in capital per hour will lead to a less than $5000 increase in real GDP per worker.

    So, correct option is (D)
