    Solution

    Explanation: The principle of subrogation in insurance refers to the right of an insurer to step into the shoes of its insured and seek recovery or reimbursement from a third party who is responsible for causing the loss or damage. When an insurer pays a claim to its insured, it essentially acquires the rights of the insured against the responsible party.
