Ans:A.

Since historical pricing adds on to the previous year's contractual price, the governement will pay if there was an inefficient use of funds in the past - i.e. if inefficient use led to higher contractual price paid out previously, then historical pricing applied today will include that amount of improperly managed fund paid out.
