A is difficult to see, but seems to be Meliscaeva auricollis
(or in genus Episyrphus is you like).
B and C are Platycheirus.
I leave them to the real experts

I agree.

They appear to be what we would have called
Platycheirus scutatus before every hair splitter attacked the genus and found more and more cryptic species. :p

And B seems to be the female of Platycheirus peltatus!
