any people is read here as: any (group of) people, in keeping with the earlier half of the sentence.
plus "their" signifies use of plural.

IMO "E"

A) anyone who works
Anyone...their....S-V mismatch.
(B) anyone working
Anyone...their....S-V mismatch.
(C) workers
Missing work...
(D) those for whom work is
Since we are describing subject...so we need subject pronoun... who.... and not whom...
(E) any people who work

We have with their hands for long hours can get carpal tunnel syndrome. So, we should have a plural noun standing before their hands. I would go with E
