Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
A hybrid approach allows the project manager to apply a predictive method for the building construction (stable and well-defined scope) and an adaptive method for the scientific equipment (uncertain and evolving requirements). This balances control with flexibility.
Option B addresses contracting but doesn't handle changing requirements.
Option C contradicts the evolving nature of equipment needs.
Option D is a contracting strategy, but it doesn't fully address planning methodology.
