    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above

    Explanation
    Businesses face a number of liability exposures, including work-related injuries to employees; pollution; contractual agreements in which the insured assumes liability; and ownership, maintenance, or use of autos, watercraft, and aircraft. However, because of the unique nature of these liability exposures, they are either excluded outright from the CGL policy or may be covered only in certain circumstances or for limited amounts. More complete protection for these liability exposures is available under contracts specifically designed to cover them.
