Why D not E, what's wrong in the sentence structure?

Sorry typo here, the OA is E, my question should be why E not D (the other way round to the title)

Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they find a new job before they are terminated.

A) the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package
B) the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for it at the automobile company’s severance package
C) their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers.
D) their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company’s severance package is available to workers.
E) the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company’s severance package is available to workers

E changes the meaning of the sentence.

If we reflect on what 'that' (relative pronoun) refers to, we can easily eliminate E.

atishree, the correct answer for this SC is indeed D..I think you got E as the answer from 1000 SC...some of the questions in 1000 SC have wrong OAs..

If you care to know why D ...pls. refer to the link below:
