I definitely remember that frequency is about claims, but I can't remember if it's just claims or if there's something else involved.

Okay, let me see... The frequency of loss is related to the number of claims and exposures, but I'm not sure if it's as simple as just dividing them. I'll have to double-check my notes to be sure.

Haha, D is just a weird combination of random insurance terms. The frequency of loss is all about the number of claims and exposures, so A is the clear winner.
