An insurable risk must meet specific criteria to ensure fair and financially viable coverage:
Chance of loss must be calculable (C): Correct. Insurers need statistical data to assess risk and determine premiums.
Loss must be intentional (A): Incorrect; intentional losses are not insurable.
Loss must be catastrophic (B): Incorrect; catastrophic losses (e.g., war or large-scale disasters) are often excluded or managed through reinsurance.
Large number of different loss exposures (D): A large number of similar, not different, exposures is required for risk pooling.
