C. absence of agreement
D. financial distress
Correct Answer: Option A
A. double insurance
Explanation
Double Insurance: Situation in which the same risk is insured by two overlapping but independent insurance policies. When an individual has double insurance, he or she has coverage by two different insurance companies upon an identical interest in the identical subject matter.
The general rule is that in the event of double insurance if a loss is caused by the risk insured against, subject to the terms of each insurance policy, the insured may recover the full amount of his loss from whichever insurer or insurers he chooses.
