Solution
The answer is A: 3 days.
Explanation for each option:
A. 3 days - This is the correct answer. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), when an investigative consumer report is requested, the insurer must notify the consumer in writing within three days of the request.
B. 5 days - This is incorrect. The FCRA specifies a three-day notification period, not five days.
