Which one of the following situations most closely conforms to the principle above?

- An insurer rejects a claim arising from a sudden pipe burst because the policyholder had ignored a warning to replace a corroded length of pipe.
- All claims that involve a burst pipe must be paid in full whenever the homeowner can simply prove they hired a plumber for an annual check-up.
