The correct statement regarding moving scaffolds with workers is that it can only be done if it is designed by a registered professional engineer for that purpose.

The correct answer is B: The scaffold can be moved horizontally if it is designed by a registered professional engineer for that purpose. Safety is paramount, and only scaffolds specifically built for mobility should be moved with workers on them. Other options presented do not guarantee safety and can lead to accidents.
