Which of the following is a hazard as opposed to a peril?

A. Fire

B. Lightning

C. Wet pavement

D. Flood

C.

Explanation:

Peril is the risk of being in danger, injured, or destroyed. In short, peril is being exposed to danger.

Wet pavement becomes slippery which increases the risk of collision. When a pavement gets wet during rain or otherwise, the pavement's surface is covered with a thin layer of oil, water, and dirt.

Wet pavement is a hazard opposed to a peril. Because wet pavements are not not a peril but driving on wet pavements can be hazardous and lead to the increased chances of vehicle collisions. This can eventually become a cause of loss.

So, the correct option is C.
