D. Many have lost jobs because companies offshored their productions.

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. Many American and Canadian workers have lost their jobs because companies offshored their productions.

There is a process called 'job outsourcing' and it describes when companies hire foreign workers instead of American or Canadian workers. According to the U. S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), USA's overseas affiliates employed more fourteen millions of workers only in 2015. This process, certainly, increases unemployment.
