Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is Rebating.

Explanation
Option 1: Misrepresentation

Misrepresentation involves providing false or misleading information about the terms or benefits of an insurance policy. In this scenario, Nathan did not misrepresent the policy itself; he offered an additional incentive.

Option 2: Fraud

Fraud typically involves deceit or trickery to gain an unfair advantage. While Nathan's actions are unethical, they do not constitute fraud as there is no indication of deceit regarding the policy's terms.

Option 3: Rebating

Rebating is the practice of offering a financial incentive or inducement to a prospective policyholder to purchase an insurance policy. Nathan's offer of a $300 bonus to Haley in exchange for purchasing a policy falls under this category, as it is an inducement not disclosed in the policy.

Option 4: Bribery

Bribery involves offering something of value to influence the actions of someone in a position of power. In this context, Nathan's offer is not to influence a decision-maker but to entice a customer, which aligns more with rebating than bribery.
