Haha, who even uses the Red Book these days? I bet it's as outdated as my grandpa's wardrobe.

D) FIDIC is the correct answer. The FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) is responsible for creating the "Red Book" contract.

I think "The Red Book" is related to FIDIC, but I might be mixing it up with another contract.
