Answer:

The correct answer based on the options given is A)

Explanation:

Actuarial Science is a branch of mathematics predominantly used by the Insurance Industry to create a formula or mathematical model that enables them to charge a profit-oriented rate for a particular risk.

If insurance companies charge arbitrarily, they may overcharge thus leading to a collapse of the system. If they undercharge, the system of pooling risks becomes unsustainable as claim paying capabilities are reduced.

Hence the need to use a mathematical model to ensure that rates give room for the ability of the system to meets it's obligations when they arise and for the companies to make a profit.

The use of models is the reason why sometimes there are hard markets in insurance and at other times there are soft markets.

Cheers!
