As an actuary, I'm offended that 'None of the above' is even an option. Of course it's C, incurred loss. What kind of exam is this?

Haha, D - None of the above? That's gotta be a trick answer. I'm going with C, the good old incurred loss method.

I think you might be right, C) Incurred loss does make sense.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be B) Loss ratio because it also considers the relationship between losses and premiums.

D - None of the above? Really? This is a pretty straightforward actuarial concept. I'm confident it's C.

I was torn between B and C, but I'm going with C since it specifically mentions paid losses plus reserves. Seems like the more comprehensive approach.

I think it's option C - Incurred loss. That makes the most sense to me in terms of accounting for both paid losses and outstanding reserves.

Yes, you're correct. Incurred loss is the projection method that uses paid losses plus reserves on outstanding claims.
