I’m surprised it’s called Supplemental reserves, sounds odd.

Claims-in-transit seems off to me. I don't remember studying that term in relation to reserves at all.

I feel like we had a practice question that mentioned reopened claim reserves, but I don't think that's what this is asking for.

I remember something about claims-made reserves, but I can't recall if that's the right term for this specific situation.

I think the answer might be B, Supplemental reserves, but I'm not completely sure. It sounds familiar from our last review session.

I'm confident that the answer is B. Supplemental reserves are used to cover any shortfall in the original reserves, which is exactly what the question is describing.

Okay, I've got this. The key is understanding that the question is asking about reserves used when the original reserves are deficient. That points to supplemental reserves as the correct answer.

This seems like a straightforward question about insurance reserves. I'll need to carefully review the definitions of the different reserve types to determine the correct answer.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B) Supplemental reserves. That's the one that matches the description of being used when the original reserves are found to be insufficient.
