The sentence presents a few facts. It says that reorganizing the corporate structure of Nitescheleds cause concern in employees.
Then it goes on to support with an example:
Just as hiring a large number of new workers will lead to a sense of instability and uncertainty among company employees,
restructuring the corporation will cause employees to feel anxious.
Quote:
We can not use like to denote examples, A and B are out.
Idiom tested, Just as X, so Y where X and Y have to be parallel.
Quote:
Parallelism issue, X = noun (employees) , Y = restructuring (verb-ing denoting action)
Quote:
now clause before coma becomes a run-on sentence i.e. one without main verb.
Note that usage of which is incorrect too since it, being a noun modifier, can not be used to denote result of action
and is used to incorrectly modify workers here.
Quote:
And we have our winner. X= hiring , Y = restructuring.
suddenly is a modifier modifying hiring. (Think how hiring took place, it took suddenly)

generis
In option A, since "just like" is used, it must be parallel with "reorganizing the structure". This is not the case hence it's wrong.
In Option B, "suddenly hiring..." is parallel with "reorganizing the structure", but "hiring" is a verb and not a noun. So use of "like" is incorrect and instead we will use "as".
In option C, "just the company employees will..." doesn't make any sense at all.
The correct idiom is "Just as...so will.." which can be seen in options D and E, but in option D, the use of "which" is unnecessary. Option E is the best choice and should be the answer.
