You know, I was just reading an article about this very topic. It mentioned that small groups often have higher administrative costs as a percentage of total premium, so I'm going to go with option B.

Okay, let's break this down. Small groups tend to have less predictable claims, so option A is probably not correct. And option C doesn't really align with the typical characteristics of small groups. I'd say B or D are the most likely answers here.

Ooh, this is a good one. I remember learning about this in my risk management course. I'm leaning towards option D, as smaller groups are more likely to experience adverse selection due to the smaller pool of people.

Haha, this is a classic insurance exam question. They always try to trick you with these subtle differences between group sizes. I'd say option B is the way to go, but I'm open to hearing what the rest of you think.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I think the key here is to consider the inherent characteristics of small and large groups. Small groups may be more susceptible to claims fluctuations, but they might also have lower administrative expenses. Let me think about this a bit more.

I'm not too sure about this question. The options seem a bit tricky, and I'm not entirely confident in my understanding of the differences between small and large employer-employee groups.
