Which of the following is a potential complication during rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation hinges on stabilizing an insurer’s finances, and a key complication is the uncertain development of loss reserves. Loss reserves are estimates of what the insurer will ultimately owe for claims. In a rehab situation, new claim information, evolving trends, and changes in settlement patterns can cause these estimates to move—sometimes upward—as more claims are reported or as settlements unfold. This volatility directly affects the plan’s viability, altering required capital, funding needs, and solvency projections. The other options describe strategic or operational actions (growth, cost-cutting, product development) rather than the actuarial uncertainty that can derail a rehabilitation plan.
