Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the concept of "adverse selection"? Multiple Choice   Adverse selection describes a situation where an individual's demand for insurance is positively correlated with the individual's risk of loss.   Adverse selection occurs when someone increases their exposure to risk when insured. This can happen, for example, when a person takes more risks because someone else bears the cost of those risks.   The relationship between smoking status and mortality provides a good illustration for adverse selection, especially in the case in which a life insurance company did not vary its premiums according to smoking status of its customers.   To counter the effects of adverse selection, insurers may offer premiums that are proportional to a customer's risk.
