resigned

was resigning

No improvement required

has resigned

Correct option 1: resigned

Corrected Sentence:

Most workers resigned to join new jobs within the same industry.

Explanation:

The subject “Most workers” is plural, so the verb must agree with it in number.
“Resigns” is a singular verb and is incorrect here.
“Resigned” is the simple past form and correctly agrees with the plural subject.
Option 2 ("was resigning") is past continuous and doesn’t fit the sentence context.
Option 4 ("has resigned") is present perfect and would require "have" instead of "has" for the plural subject.
