Therefore, the correct answer is C. In no situation.

Wait, isn't it the owner who has the most risk in these deals?

I’m leaning towards A, but I’m not confident. I thought fixed price meant the contractor had to deliver within the budget, which sounds risky.

I feel like option C is wrong because fixed price contracts don’t pay for actual costs, right? It’s more about the agreed price.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the owner has some risk too, but the contractor definitely has to manage performance.

I think the contractor takes on a lot of the risk in a fixed price contract, so maybe option B? But I'm not completely sure.

Wait, I'm confused. Isn't the whole point of a fixed price contract that the contractor gets paid a set amount regardless of actual costs? I'll have to review my notes on this.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know fixed price contracts involve some risk for the contractor, but I can't quite recall the specifics. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about contract types. I'll need to remember the key differences between fixed price and other contract structures.

Well, at least the contractor won't have to worry about going over budget. That's a silver lining, right?

D seems a bit too extreme. The owner has some risk, but not all of it. I'm going with B.
