Answer 1

Answer:

C. Moral hazard.

Explanation:

Moral hazard is the risk that a party has not gone into an agreement in compliance with common decency or has given deceiving data about its assets, liabilities, or credit capacity. Moral hazards can be available whenever two parties come into concurrence with each other. Each party in an agreement may have the chance to pick up from acting in opposition to the standards spread out by the agreement.
