To determine the total resources required for activity D, we need to look at the resources required for activity C and the duration of activity D.

Activity C requires one worker for 8 hours per day for 3 days, which is a total of 24 hours of work for one worker. If the worker is expected to work half-time (4 hours per day) on this project, then activity C would require 2 workers for 3 days, which is a total of 48 worker-hours.

Activity D has a duration of 3 days and requires one worker for 8 hours per day, which is a total of 24 hours of work for one worker. If the worker is expected to work half-time (4 hours per day) on this project, then activity D would require 2 workers for 3 days, which is a total of 48 worker-hours.

Therefore, the total resources required for activity D if a worker is expected to work half-time (four hours per day) on this project is 48 hours. The answer is C.
