The correct answer is C . In Ontario, Direct Compensation - Property Damage (DCPD. means that, when certain conditions are met, an insured claims for damage to their own automobile through their own insurer , rather than pursuing the other driver’s insurer directly. The OAP 1 states that the amount payable under DCPD is determined by the degree to which the insured or driver was not at fault , and that responsibility is determined under the Insurance Act and the Fault Determination Rules .

The same OAP 1 wording explains that the DCPD deductible is applied according to the percentage to which the insured or driver was not at fault , and the examples show how payment is split when a driver is partly responsible. It also shows that where the insured is partially at fault, recovery is made partly under DCPD and partly, if purchased, under Collision coverage.

That makes A incorrect because DCPD does not mean nobody is at fault. B is wrong because the claim is not paid by the third party’s insurer. D is also incorrect because fault rules can still apply; the location alone does not remove fault determination. From a RIBO exam perspective, the key phrase is: you claim through your own insurer, and fault percentage still matters .
