The correct answer is: The antecedent is both dad and sisters, which makes it plural.
Explanation: The pronoun "their" is used to refer to both "dad" and "sisters," making the antecedent plural. Since "dad" is singular and "sisters" is plural, the overall reference involves multiple people, justifying the use of the plural pronoun "their."
