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 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

a,b,c are out because of un-parallel construction-not underlined portion 'Unlike ...packages' and underlined portion requiring package(s) for contrasting purpose.
if we go through d,e the main difference here is meaning of sentence
so it's d

note- GMAT wise whenever the sentence utilizes a plural pronoun "they" in complex (two, more clause) setence, the meaning is lost or diverted. So mainly watch out versions with "they"

+1 for D.

Reasoning same as that of Pemdas. A, B and C are out based on idiom Unlike X, Y.

Let me elaborate for D and E,

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 -- Wordy construction.
Regards,

Pranay

A. the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package ----- wrong comparison
B. the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company’s severance package ----- wrong comparison
C. their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers ----- wrong comparison
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 ------wrongly modifies "day"
