一道有关SCHEDULED的题~纠结！求解！

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

答案选D,我选E，很多解释说scheduled如何如何……但是我查了Sb be scheduled to do sth.也是对的呀~况且D的in order to 不是有主语不明的嫌疑么？？

求解答，详尽点~

E有歧义的

the last day that they are scheduled to collect可以被解读成 workers collect day

原来如此，谢谢。不过in order to 没有歧义吗？

先搜索，总结了一下前人的解释。然后查了高阶词典：

E中：that做什么成分？
如果作schedule的宾语，那their scheduled day>the day that they are scheduled，to collect跟stay，即：员工要留到最后那天工作日(the last day that they are scheduled)才能拿补贴；
根are scheduled=员工要留到拿补贴的最后那天(last day that they are scheduled to collect (severance packages))，有歧义。

如果做状语，那应该是the last day on which(when) they are scheduled，
