Explanation
Option A is correct because insurance regulations define "property occupied by the company" as real estate that is both owned by the insurer (or its affiliates) and more than 50% occupied by those same entities - meaning the majority of the rentable square footage must be used by the insurer/affiliates themselves rather than leased out to third parties.
Option B is incorrect because there is no ambiguity or exception here - the 50% threshold is a clear, codified rule, not a judgment call, so "False" has no basis under the standard definition.
Memory tip: Think of the "50% rule" like a majority vote - if the insurer and its affiliates occupy the majority of the building they own, it counts as company-occupied property. Own it + majority-occupy it = company property.
