I'll give my opinion below so you don't get biased by my answer. Let's share our lines of thought!

A --: minimal effort approach
B +-: asks for more info but ignores the other stakeholders
C ++: asks for more info and considers the other stakeholders
I propose this solution:
A--
B++
C+
Why B++?
Because I think that the "in-depth briefing" looks more complete and somehow would include the "more documentation". Secondly, the B is a straight forward sentence while in the C there is a condition. I suppose that if you are "in-depth briefed" you should be able to handle conflicts with other stakeholders.
This said, the information provided in the mock example is limited so we won't know the correct answers. Maybe, in hypotetical emails attached in such exercise they say that the stakeholders agree 100% with the EP position. I mean who knows. I guess it's difficult, with the available information, to give the right answers. It's wise to read well the answers, how they are gramatically structured. Anyway, these are my thoughts
I chose the same answers, mainly because that "just in case" in the third option didn't convince me as the best possible option.
Valid points, however C ignores the presence of other stakeholders. Do you think that it is irrelevant, and why? (consider that it's part of the described task - second part of second mail)
A--
B++
C+
A is obviously taking the easy way.
B is best as Mr Caligiuri is out of office from tomorrow, and having an in-depth briefing with having a back-up contact taking over from Mr Caligiuri is a strong option. It does not prevent us from getting the documentation from the colleague.
C is good, but we just get the documentation and not a live contact on the other side. "Just in case" also suggests we would perform the assessment only on the condition there is something wrong previously indicated.
