Correct Answer: A

The insurance company writes the contract, which is either accepted or rejected by the applicant. Modifications by the applicant cannot be made. As a result, courts generally have held that any ambiguity in the contract should be interpreted in favor of the insured. When doing so, the courts may rely on the doctrine of reasonable expectations, which states that a policy includes coverages that an average person would reasonably expect it to include, regardless of what the policy actually provides.
