A factory worker has five children. No one else in the factory has five children.
[A]. All workers in the factory have five children each. -- It has been clearly mentioned that no one else except one worker has five children. So, [A] cannot be the answer.
[B]. Everybody in the factory has children.
It may look like the correct one but the workers who does not have 5 children can be the ones who do not have a single child even so we cannot conclude that "Everybody in the factory has children ".
[C]. Some of the factory workers have more than five children.
They have mentioned that one person only has five children, so [C] won't be an answer.
[D]Only one worker in the factory has exactly five children. -- It clearly supports the statement.
So, [D] is the answer.

[D]Only one worker in the factory has exactly five children.

No one in the factory has five children means that other employee may have more than or less than five children but not equal to five children.
