Errors and Omissions claims are a result of?

1. A. unethical behavior

2. B. lack of knowledge or information

3. C. Both unethical behavior and lack of knowledge or information are correct

4. D. Neither unethical behavior and lack of knowledge or information are correct

The correct answer is: C. Both unethical behavior and lack of knowledge or information are correct

Errors and Omissions (E&O) claims are filed when an individual or company has made a mistake or failed to fulfill a duty, resulting in financial or professional harm to a client. Option A is incorrect because not all errors and omissions are caused by unethical behavior. E&O claims can also arise from unintentional mistakes or negligence. Option B is incorrect because while lack of knowledge or information can contribute to errors and omissions, it is not the only cause. E&O claims can also be caused by miscommunications, misunderstanding or misrepresentation of information. Option D is incorrect because both unethical behavior and lack of knowledge or information can contribute to E&O claims. It is not an either-or situation.
