    C - $1165.49

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have that the probability of a driver getting into an accident = 7.1% i. e. 0.071.

    Now, the average cost of an accident = $14,886.05

    Then, the expected cost of an accident = $14,886.05 * 0.071 = $1056.91

    As, the overhead cost for insurance = $110

    Therefore, the driver's insurance premium = $1056.91 + $110 = $1166.91

    Since, the closest option to $1166.91 is option C.

    Hence, the driver's insurance premium will be $1165.49.
