Option B seems like the most logical choice to me. I mean, if Poplar was bearing all the risk, why would they need to contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield in the first place?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was leaning towards option A, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I guess I'll have to review the material again.
