Answer: Option (B)

Explanation:

In discipline such as economics, the situation of moral hazard tends to take place when an individual/party increase their vulnerability to the risk especially when the individual/party is insured, or when the individual takes more risks since other entities are bearing the cost associated with the risks. It may take place where the actions taken by a party may further change to disadvantage of another party once the financial transaction has already been dealt with.
