    Solution

    Reinsurance companies play a crucial role in the Indian insurance market by providing insurance to insurance companies.

Reinsurance companies work as risk-sharing partners with insurance companies and help them manage their risks more efficiently. In India, reinsurance is regulated by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and operates under the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938. Hence, option B is correct.
