Cevap
The correct statement identifies that the applicant's consideration includes both the premium payment and the representations made on the application, while the insurer provides a promise to pay future claims.
In an insurance contract, consideration refers to the value exchanged between the two parties. The applicant gives consideration by paying the premium and providing truthful representations on the application. The insurer gives consideration by promising to pay for covered losses in the future.
