According to the equation w = fd which statement tells what can be done to reduce the amount of force needed to accomplish work?

The statements are missing, but I can give you some analysis in the question.

You know that work is defined as the movement of an object caused by a force, and it can be calculated as:

W = Fd

where W is work, F is the force applied to the object and d is the distance that the object has been moved.

Then if you want to have constant work, let's call it  

W₁ = F₁*d₁

and you want to keep W₁ constant, but reduce the force applied, then we need to do:

W₁ = F₂*d₂

where F₁>F₂, then this means that d₂ must be bigger than d₁.

Then if you want to reduce the amount of force needed to do some given amount of work, you need to increase the moved distance, d.
