Final answer:

The interpretation of a contract of adhesion with complicated language is typically in favor of the drafter of the contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the question is a) The drafter of the contract.

A contract of adhesion is a standard form contract that is presented to one party on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, with little to no opportunity for negotiation. These contracts often contain complicated language that may not be easily understood by the party adhering to the contract. As a result, courts generally interpret ambiguous or unclear terms in a contract of adhesion in favor of the party who drafted the contract.
