Answer: coinsurance clause

Explanation:

A coinsurance clause is a provision in the home insurance policy which requires the individual to carry coverage that is worth a certain percentage of the home's value. The failure to meet requirement will reduces the compensation after a loss.

Under the coinsurance clause, the insurance company will reimburses the value of damages to an insured asset for at least 80% of the replacement value of the asset. The reinsurance clause allows an insurer to take the reinsurance based on the original insurance.
