Unlike their counterparts in other Western democracies, the American labor movement has never  embraced revolutionary ideologies calling for the ultimate transformation of the economic order.

(A) Unlike  their  counterparts in other Western democracies, the  American labor movement  has never --> "American labor movement" is singular, so "their" is wrong

(B) Unlike that of  their  counterparts in other Western democracies, the American labor movement has never --> same as A

(C) Unlike its counterpart in other Western democracies, the American labor movement never  have  --> --> "American labor movement" is singular, so "have" is wrong

(D) Unlike  that  of its counterparts in other Western democracies, the American labor movement never has --> replace the noun: that of its counterparts <=> "American labor movement" of "American labor movement"'s counterparts => sounds weird

(E) Unlike its counterparts in other Western democracies, the American labor movement has never -->  correct
