(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 the automobile company's severance package

(D) their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

D is right.

Only D and E are contenders on account of correct comparison.

E - that they are scheduled to collect is illogically modifying last day resulting in a weird meaning sentence.
