 In my opinion  - B. CPIF

type of contract is known as a cost plus fee (CPF) or a cost plus percentage of cost (CPPC)

contract. A CPIF is a cost plus incentive fee contract that reimburses allowable costs and adds an

incentive for exceeding the performance criteria laid out in the contract.

In this question the key word is  except, so the wright answer is D. because CPPC means cost plus percentage of cost, in this type of contract the fee is variable because the fee is based on the costs

I would say C is the right answer being an added cost.
