The correct answer is letter "D": Insurance companies will only cover losses suffered while the policy is already in place.

Explanation:

Regardless of the type of insurance you purchase, the purpose of the coverage is having a policy in case an unexpected unfortunate event takes place. Insurances do not enroll individuals who need the policy just because of an ongoing accident. Those individuals could enroll in an insurance plan but the ongoing accident will not be covered by the company. Only those events happening when the policy is already valid are subject to evaluation for coverage.
