Ha! Claims-in-transit, really? That's a good one. No, it's gotta be B) Supplemental reserves. The question is pretty straightforward.

Definitely B) Supplemental reserves. I remember learning about those in my insurance classes. The name just clicks with the description.

Claims-made reserves are different, they are set for known claims that have not been reported yet.

But supplemental reserves are specifically set aside for deficiencies in original reserves, so I think it makes more sense.

Hmm, I was thinking D) Claims-in-transit, but now that I read the question again, that doesn't seem to fit. Supplemental reserves makes more sense.

Claims-in-transit doesn't really match the description, so I think Supplemental reserves is 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.
