Answer:

c. life Insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle of indemnity put an individual who is in loss into the same financial position as he was before the loss.

The insurers ensure such individual is immediately reinstated into his previous position. They do not give more than what was lost they give the exact thing that was insured and lost. Even if the sum insured is more than the actual value of the property or this would not entitle the insured to get more than the actual loss

Life insurance and body insurance is not under indemnity principal because life can not be valued the same way as property and it cannot be refunded. Also, body part loss cannot be restored back to its original position hence they do not come under the principle of indemnity.
