The pronoun "their" is used in the sentence to refer to the collective ownership or association of the input that will be given by Meena's dad or her sisters. The use of "their" is appropriate because it refers to both "her dad" and "her sisters," indicating that the input can come from either one of them. Since "dad" is singular and "sisters" is plural, "their" functions as a gender-neutral and plural pronoun that encompasses both possibilities. In this context, "their" conveys that the input is not exclusively from one individual but can be provided by any member of the group mentioned.
Meena’s dad or her sisters will give their input on her presentation for the reunion.
