B) By allowing the policyholder to make a claim for reimbursement

Bryce · Answer 2

(A) by allowing the policyholder to make premium payments

Explanation:

Insurance is a risk sharing device where the risk is shared between the policyholder and the insurance company through regular periodic payment called premium.

With the payments of premium, at the time of financial loss, loss sharing is possible between the policyholder and the Insurance Company as per the terms of the Insurance contract, entered by the two.

Hence, loss sharing at the time of financial loss is only possible when the policyholder pays regular premiums.
