Well, let's see . . .

You said that  (a) men can dig (c) holes in (b) hours.

So . . . It takes  (a) men  (b / c) hours to dig one hole.

And . . . It takes    One man  (a b / c) hours to dig one hole.

Now . . .  There are  (b) holes to be dug.

              It would take one man  (a b / c)·(b) = (a b² / c) hours to dig them all.

              But if you had 'x' men, it would only take them  (c) hours to do it.

So          c  =  (a b² / c)  /  x

           x c  =  (a b² / c)

           x     =  a b² / c²  men   . 

Now, I lost the big overview while I was doing that,
and just started following my nose through the fog.
So I have to admit that I'm not that confident in the answer.
But gosh durn it.  That's the answer I got, and I'm stickin to it.

The top row contains the product of x^{2} with each term of the expressions x^{6}+ x^{4}+ x^{2} and bottom row contains the product of -1 with each term of expression x^{6}+ x^{4}+ x^{2} .

The final result will be the sum of terms of both rows as shown below:

( x^{6}+ x^{4} + x^{2} )( x^{2} -1) \\  \\ 
= x^{2} ( x^{6}+ x^{4} + x^{2} )-1( x^{6}+ x^{4} + x^{2} ) \\  \\ 
= x^{8}+ x^{6}+ x^{4}- x^{6}- x^{4}- x^{2}  \\  \\ 
= x^{8}- x^{2}

So the correct answer is option D
