    Solution

    The sentence makes more sense if (D) implementing and (E) reluctance are swapped, as follows: D ("implementing") should be replaced with E ("reluctance") to describe the "sense of reluctance" about the new strategy. E ("reluctance") should go where D is, because it's about the hesitation to carry out or execute the new strategy.
