Which of the following best describes a morale hazard?

A morale hazard refers to a situation where an individual's attitude or mindset leads to an increased likelihood of risk or loss because of their indifference or carelessness. In insurance terms, this means that the insured party may take greater risks or fail to take necessary precautions because they believe that they are covered for any potential losses. This lack of concern may contribute to a higher frequency or severity of claims.

For example, if a person believes they will be compensated for any accident, they might not take proper safety measures, thereby increasing the likelihood of an event occurring. This contrasts with other types of hazards, such as a physical hazard, which involves actual conditions that could lead to accidents, or a moral hazard that involves intentional actions that violate laws or ethical standards.
