The correct answer is C. Insurance.
Insurance is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for payment. An insurer is a company that provides insurance to individuals or businesses. The insured party is the person or entity that purchases the insurance policy. The insured party pays a premium to the insurer, and in return, the insurer agrees to pay the insured party a sum of money if the insured event occurs.
There are many different types of insurance, including property insurance, life insurance, health insurance, and car insurance. Property insurance protects against damage to or loss of property. Life insurance protects against the death of the insured person. Health insurance protects against the cost of medical care. Car insurance protects against the cost of damage to or loss of a car.
Insurance is a valuable tool for managing risk. It can help to protect individuals and businesses from financial losses that could otherwise be devastating.
