Expert Solution

Answer: C. The home is in a floodplain

Homeowners' insurances can cover the damages following:

1. Damages to property due to file, wind, hail or water, like a kitchen fire,

2. Covered losses to personal property, such as a theft due to a break in, or

3. Liability incurred due to a lawsuit such as a neighbour filing a case against their injury occured during a house party.

But homeowners' insurance doesn't cover a home situated in a floodplain. The person has to buy a seperate cover under the flood insurance.
