That's true, but in general, fixed price contracts are more suitable for projects with clear scope and deliverables.

But what about option D? Sometimes services can also be accurately measured and a fixed price contract could work.

Haha, D is a trap! Changing service requirements are the opposite of what you want in a fixed-price contract. You'd be better off with a time-and-materials or cost-plus arrangement for that.

I agree, C seems to be the correct answer. A fixed-price contract provides the most certainty for both the client and the supplier when the scope of work is well-defined.

I agree, a fixed-price contract is definitely most appropriate when the work can be accurately foreseen and measured. It helps avoid any unexpected costs or disputes.

I think C is the best option too. It's important to have a clear understanding of the work to be done in order to set a fixed price.

Hmm, C looks like the obvious choice here. A fixed-price contract is best when the work can be accurately planned and measured. Volatility and changes in service requirements are better suited for other contract types.
