Answer: B

Explanation:

This is an Invitation to Tender.

The only other real document listed in Request for Quotation. This is incorrect because the document asks questions relating to how they will deliver the service. This means price isn’t the only factor, which is the case for a RfQ.

Request for Tender and Invitation to Quote are not real things.
