    The correct answer is letter "A": Adverse selection.

    Explanation:

    Adverse Selection occurs when one party in a transaction has more information than the other, leading to a negative consequence for the party "in the dark". This often happens in insurance and finance-related activities when certain customers make the service being offered unprofitable or less profitable.
