To determine the total resources required for the project on day 10, we need to calculate the number of hours required per day for each activity and then add them up. Assuming a worker devotes half-time (four hours per day) to the project:

Activity A requires 4 hours per day (total duration of 5 days)
Activity B requires 4 hours per day (total duration of 4 days)
Activity C requires 4 hours per day (total duration of 5 days)
Activity D requires 8 hours per day (total duration of 6 days)
Activity E requires 8 hours per day (total duration of 6 days)
Activity F requires 8 hours per day (total duration of 6 days)

Adding all the hours together, we get:

4 + 4 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32 hours per day

Therefore, the total resources required for the project on day 10 is 32 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D.
