__________ is a social device for eliminating or reducing the loss of society from certain risk.

Answer: Option C

Insurance is a social device for eliminating or reducing the loss of society from certain risk. Insurance is a social device for division of financial losses which may fall on an individual or his family on the happening of some unforeseen events. When insured, the loss arising out of the events are shared by all the insured in the form of premium. Therefore the risk is transferred from one individual to a group.
