A.  Cost Plus Percentage of  cost 

This is most risky type of contract for Muhammad. The contractor may uncessaruly increase the quantity and cost to get benefit form constructiion works and his fixed percentage over cost will also increase. So, this is very favoarable for contractor but very risky for Mr. Muhammad

What Muhammad wants is not mentioned, assuming that Muhammad is trying to buy a product or service, Cost Plus Percentage of Cost is the most risky type of contract.
