I’m a bit confused between A and C. I think C might relate to taxes, but I’m not confident about that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about variable pricing being linked to market conditions. Could it be B?

I think the answer might be A, the Economic price adjustment clause. It seems to fit the description of being based on costs rather than the seller's choice.

Okay, I think I have a strategy for this. I'll focus on identifying the clause that allows for cost-based increases but not seller-driven price hikes.
