Answer 1

is to share risk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Insurance is a means by which individuals and businesses avoid the risk of a loss. It is a risk management strategy that is used to hedge against the risk of uncertain loss.

So risk is shared with other parties usually the insurance company in the event of a loss.

The insurance company collects a payment called premium to maintain this agreement. The premium acts as a financial cushion for the insurance firm, and also provides means of settling loss claims.

For example a company can buy insurance against fore loss and pay premiums. In the event of a fire the insurance company is liable to reimburse the company for losses incurred.
