Conversation always happens between more than one person, so 'their' is the right choice. and I would go with E.

I also got E.
Firstly, semicolon should make the sentence standalone so A and B can be ignored
Secondly, E sounds better when we are referring to two people talking.

This is an easy question (more in a 600+ range).

Answer is clearly E due to its concise and correct referral

Mohit, you can not find any antecedent for "this" in (C) so incorrect.

Hello from the GMAT Club VerbalBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).
