Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of the question is Law. The question is asking about the unfair claims settlement practices committed openly and in conscious disregard of rules and regulations. The options given are acts committed by policyholders, acts committed by insurance companies, acts committed by state regulators, and acts committed by attorneys.

The correct answer is Acts committed by insurance companies. Unfair claims settlement practices refer to actions taken by insurance companies that are in violation of rules and regulations and are committed with frequency. These practices can include denying valid claims, delaying claim payments, or offering settlements that are significantly less than what the policyholder is entitled to.

For example, if an insurance company repeatedly denies valid claims without proper justification or consistently underpays claims to policyholders, it would be considered engaging in unfair claims settlement practices.
