Some professionals see their careers as changing and evolving over time. They are able to embrace and even anticipate changes in their fields. These professionals are the first to learn and employ new technologies. Other professionals view their current knowledge and methods of doing business as sufficient for their entire career and therefore often respond to changes in a hostile way, refusing to learn new techniques and technologies. The clearest example of this hostile attitude toward change is ____________

(C). I took 01:52.
It's mainly a split between (A) and (C). But, (C) supersedes (A) by following the exact tone of the argument. The ones against change abhor new methods and reject them for they believe their methods are sufficient. In (A) the rejection part is not visible. Has calligrapher rejected the new methods? It's not clear. But, in (C) it is clearly mentioned that the architect has rejected the new drafting method for the traditional method. So, this qualifies as the correct answer choice.

(C) is correct IMO
