Option C (Fixed Bid) - Schedule delays or budget expansion will cause cost escalation, which in turn will eat up the profit margins.

Obiviously answer has to be C . 

In firm fixed price contract , contractor is supposed to execute the contract successfully in an agreed fixed amount. So contractor has to take care of all the constraints.

In the contract of unit price because in this case because the money that you get depends on the amount of work performed so you have to control your cost in order to make profit while in the other contracts no matter how much the cost is you will be paid the cost plus fees as profit moreover the fees are usually as percentage of the cost so the higher the cost the higher the profit.
