I would go for option A Cost Reimbursable Contract

Fixed price and lump sum is the same type of contract , with very complete statement of work,

T&M is used when we have uncertainty, but is for a short time period and is used when we want to deal with a matter, very quickly.

Cost reimbursable contract is the best choice when we have a degree of uncertainty, which means we can not define well and clearly the statement of work of the project.

A. is the best answer

In my opinion - A. Cost reimbursable -   Explanation:  Cost-reimbursable contracts are used when the degree of uncertainty is high and when the project requires a large investment prior to completion of the project.

I would use fixed-price since I do not know what the requirements are and I will not go for lump sum because this might not be fair for any of the parties.
