One of the assumption of linear programming is there is only a single objective i.e. either maximising profit or minimising costs.

When a question state that the objective function is to maximise contribution. Is this the same as to maximise NPV when I define the function?

No it isn’t the same – contribution is not the same as NPV. (Contributions do not involve discounting!).

I cannot imagine that Paper AFM would ask about maximising contribution.

Have you watched my free lectures on multi-period capital rationing?
