Who "Having finally reached a tentative labor agreement with its company's pilots" modifies? the airline's board of directors. So the subject must follow the comma: out A B.
In C both is misplaced, so we can eliminate this option. The correct idom is "both X and Y" not "both X and also Y", D wins: it also more clear and coincise then E.

The simple process of elimination of C is that the singular airline is being pronouned as 'they' which is a subject - pronoun number error.
