Which term corresponds to 'saying or writing something that's not true or omits material facts' according to the material?

• A. Defamation
• B. Unlawful Insurance Fraud
• C. Consent Agreement
• D. Rebating

Answer: (B)

In insurance, making false statements or omitting material facts is a form of misrepresentation, and when that deception is used to obtain or keep insurance unlawfully, it falls under unlawful insurance fraud. This term best fits the description of saying or writing something not true or omitting important information that could influence a policy decision. Defamation involves harming someone’s reputation with false statements, which is not about insurance transactions. A consent agreement is simply giving permission for something, not about false statements. Rebating is offering incentives to buy or renew a policy, which is a different improper practice.
