Option-A is best choice. The allowable cost means there is reasonable control of buyer  and then a agreed upon/fixed fee as profit.  Here the risk is mostly shared by the contractor.

Option (A). A reimbursement of allowable cost of services performed plus an agreed upon percentage of the estimated cost as profit

Option-A

In cost type contracts, the performance risk is borne mostly by the buyer, not the seller.

pay a fee that rises as the contractor's cost rise. Because this contract type provides no incentive for the contractor to control costs it is rarely utilized.

Thanks for the invite.

I go with option D - None of the above.

In CPPC type contract, buyer pays all costs plus a percentage of costs as a fee.
