d) Damage caused by continuous or repeated seepage or leakage is covered.

Answer 1

The false statement under the Water Escape, Rupture Freezing peril is (d) Damage caused by continuous or repeated seepage or leakage is covered, since such damage results from maintenance issues not covered by insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Water Escape, Rupture Freezing peril, the statement that is NOT TRUE is (d) Damage caused by continuous or repeated seepage or leakage is covered. Insurance policies typically do not cover damage from ongoing maintenance issues like continuous leaks, as they are expected to be prevented through regular maintenance rather than being sudden and accidental. Statements (a), (b), and (c) describe scenarios where coverage is typically provided because they involve sudden and unforeseen incidents which by nature are accidental, often leading to immediate damage.
