Correct Answer: No improvement required


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The sentence employs a structure that presents a parallel or combined idea involving two subjects, the workmen and the supervisor. The phrase "not only... but also" is a correlative conjunction used to emphasise both elements in the sentence. It's used to join two similar elements in a sentence and suggests that both are equally important or impactful in the context. 

Therefore, the sentence requires no improvement​​​​​​.
