B.Managers should carefully arrange the seats for employees.

参考答案：B

参考解析：

根据关键词定位至首段New research...suggests that rearranging desks or sitting next to someone...can be a cost-effective way to inject energy and efficiency into the workday.可知得出的结论是：坐在工作风格互补的人旁边，是一种可以为工作日注入能量和效率的经济有效的方法。所以主体词应当是与“座位”有关，选项A：员工之间的良性竞争可以提高利润，并非研究结果；选项B：管理者应该仔细为员工安排座位，主体词表达正确；选项C：把合适的员工放在一起可以提高生产率，看似无误，但是主体词并非是文中所提到的座位安排，这是易错项；选项D：性格相似的员工应该坐在一起，文中提到的是相似工作风格的人，而非性格。结合选项可知B项表达更符合文意。故本题正确答案选B。
