The statement that an insured MUST give an insurance company to show that a loss...

The correct answer is C, Proof of Loss. Proof of loss is the written documentation supplied to the insurer to establish that a covered loss occurred and to provide the facts needed to evaluate the claim. It may include claim forms, medical records, bills, physician statements, dates of treatment, disability information, and other evidence required under the policy. Notice of claim is different: it simply informs the insurer that a loss has occurred or that a claim may be made. After receiving notice, the insurer ordinarily provides claim forms or instructions. A loss form may be one document used in the proof-of-loss process, but it is not the complete legal concept. An inspection report may be used by an insurer in some lines of insurance but is not the insured’s required statement establishing a health or disability claim. Timely proof of loss is important because it triggers the insurer’s claim-review duties and helps determine when payment is due. Policy provisions specify the timing and form of proof required.
