Respuesta :

D would be the right answer.

Representative or Strikers:  representatives is more likely the antecedent of their because it is the one closest to the pronoun.

representative refers to persons who speak in behalf of another person or group. 
It is usually the representatives who go to the negotiating table, not the strikers.
