I think it's B. Other options are not correct:

A: a fixed price contract is the most risky for the seller, not the buyer.
B: cost reimbursable contract guarantees compensation of all costs plus an agreed profit margin (it's correct)
C: lump sum contract doesn't guarantee profit at all, just a revenue
D: no type of contract is illegal
