About に応じて
に応じて is a combination of に, and the て-form of the る-Verb 応じる 'to apply to'. This grammar structure is often translated as 'depending on (A), (B)', or 'in response to (A), (B)'. However; in almost all cases, it is just indicating that (B) is something that is done in a way that is 'applicable' to what is necessary of (A).
