D Correct answer
Explanation

The pronoun 'theirs' is incorrect in this context. We're referring to 'the very glimpse' of them, which should use the possessive adjective 'their' or rephrase as 'of them'. 'Theirs' is a possessive pronoun used independently (like 'the book is theirs'), not as an object of a preposition referring back to a noun.
