I'm a little unsure here. The question is asking about the major risk factors, so I'll need to think about what typically has the biggest impact on a health plan's risk profile for group underwriting.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The age and gender of group members are usually not the main predictors of utilization, so I'm leaning towards option A.

Option C seems a bit too specific. Why would a health plan only track demographics if they specifically adjust for them? Seems like they'd want to track that data either way.
