Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Options A and B are correct: Both the Red and Yellow Books require the Engineer to certify payments before the Employer pays the Contractor.
Option C (Silver Book) typically places the risk on the Contractor and often provides for payment without Engineer certification, reflecting the turnkey nature of the contract.

The Contractor's obligation to submit progress reports continues until all outstanding work identified in the Taking-Over Certificate has been completed. The Taking-Over Certificate signals substantial completion but may allow for outstanding minor works. Reporting is essential to monitor progress on these outstanding works.
The Performance Certificate relates to final contract completion but reporting usually ends earlier only after all works are completed.
Therefore, Option D is correct.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Option A correctly reflects Golden Principles emphasizing the Employer's objective of obtaining value for money and the importance of avoiding disputes as much as possible.
