From the title you could understand that she's dealing  purposely  with many projects at the same time 

then she's definitely experiencing a multitasking situation.

If I have to choose one, I will choose Option D.

But option A & E can also be other options.

I believe mrs. Woofter is right. It is multitasking

A: Poor Scheduling

Since the question does not give any further details on the number of projects, the time spent on each... if Hana is utilized efficiently it would be Multi Tasking. However the question states she has to restart the work from where she left off meaning the other projects were not running parallel thus suggesting poor scheduling.
