D Correct answer

Employers retain significant flexibility to modify insurance arrangements mid-year, subject to contractual notice requirements and collective bargaining agreements. Neither carrier selection nor benefit levels are locked annually. This flexibility allows employers to respond to cost changes, employee needs, or market conditions during plan years.
