(C) workers
(D) those for whom work is
(E) any people who work

OA is E

their appears to be referring to anyone. Any one is singular and as their is not underlined, we need to modify any one in such a way that we see a plural subject.

People would be apt as its plural.

I agreeE is the answer. But was trying to understand why is C incorrect?.
I thought C is kinda wordy and ackward.

Any thoughts?

thanks
