Ah, I see what you mean. Option C is too narrowly focused on the percentage-based compensation, whereas the question is asking for a more complete answer that covers the various compensation models.

This question is definitely testing our understanding of how consulting engineers are typically compensated. I think the key here is to identify which of the options best captures the different scenarios that can arise.
