It all depends how the people are killed. If somebody justs shoots them point blank, I go with A. However if it is more nuanced, such as dying in some sort of foreseeable work related accident to completing the task, then I gotta go with B.

Frankly, I don't think I can or should prevent people from killing themselves, however I think I should prevent other people from killing each other (therefore the John thing is out).

Are John and all the other employees of equal likability?

If I choose C, do they know? I'd probably do that if it just sort of worked out that only John died (this way the remaining wouldn't feel super guilty).
