But cost overruns and duplication of effort are usually signs of mistrust, not improved trust.

I'd have to go with C and B as well. Although, if I could add another option, 'supplier finally stops asking for advance payments' would be a good one too!

I agree with C and B. Anything that reduces the need for constant communication and oversight is a sign of a healthy, trusting relationship.

C and B are definitely the signs of improved trust. I'm surprised they didn't include 'supplier providing free donuts' as an option!
