_____________ is the riskiest of the cost plus contracts for the seller.

(A) CPPC

None of them pose any risk to the seller as he is guaranteed to get reimbursed for the costs incurred.  The only questions is: Which one offers lowest profit margin for the seller?  It is CPFF.

CPAF is the riskiest for the seller among other options. Here there is no guarantee for Award Fees. It depends on the Buyer. The seller always should be vigilant and satisfy the buyer in order to get his fee.Regards,CHOWDARY
