    D Conditions are more important than warranties in determining coverage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Breach of a condition can have more serious consequences than breach of a warranty. Breach of a condition can make the entire policy void, while breach of a warranty may only give the insurer the right to avoid the contract or deny a claim for the specific loss related to the breached warranty.
