Final answer:

A C) Premises Liability claim would be filed under the store's CGL policy due to the customer slipping on spilled salt, as the store has a responsibility to maintain safe conditions for customers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incident described in the question would result in a C) Premises Liability claim being filed under the store's Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy.

Premises Liability claims involve situations where an injury is caused by some type of unsafe or defective condition on someone's property.

Since the elderly customer slipped on salt that had spilled from a store shelf, the store may be held responsible for the injuries because they are expected to maintain a safe environment for customers.

In contrast, a Completed Operations claim relates to liability for a business's services after they are completed, a Product's Liability claim involves injuries caused by a defective product, and a Workers' Compensation claim is for injuries that employees sustain during work.
