A mutual insurance company is owned by who?
Correct Answer
D. Insureds
Explanation
A mutual insurance company is owned by the insureds. In a mutual insurance company, the policyholders are also the owners of the company.

This ownership structure ensures that the company's focus is on serving the best interests of its policyholders rather than maximizing profits for stockholders.
