C. The contract type is the most dangerous for the buyer. A cost plus percentage of cost contract can be risky for the buyer (in this case, your program) because it provides little incentive for the contractor to control costs. Under this type of contract, the contractor is reimbursed for all legitimate costs incurred during the project plus a percentage of these costs as profit. This means the more the contractor spends, the more profit they make, which can lead to inefficiencies and inflated costs, potentially causing financial risks for the program.
