Megan is phoning Emily to change an arrangement. This suggests that there was already an existing arrangement between them, but Megan wants to modify it for some reason.

The correct answer is "Everyone’s talking about it at the moment. It’s fascinating stuff." because it is the only statement that suggests a topic of conversation that is interesting to people.
