Answer: Payment bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

A payment bond is a type of guaranteed payment provided for a contractor which ensure that all subcontractors, suppliers, workers etc involved in a project will be duly paid. Payment bond usually comes along with performance bond especially in the construction industry, and it is obtained before the commencement of a construction project. This serves as a form of protection for subcontractors.
