Ugh, I hate change management questions. There are so many factors to consider - the audience, the message, the timing. I'll try to hit the main points like communication channels and managing resistance, but this isn't my strong suit.

Hmm, I wonder if the 75 redundant staff will start a call center of their own - 'JJJ Insurance Refugees' has a nice ring to it!

E is also incorrect. Adaptive change may face more resistance, but that's better than rigidly imposing change. Flexibility is key.
