Which pairing of endorsement to covered loss is CORRECT?

a.Identity Theft endorsement reimburses the funds a thief drains from the insured's bank account, up to the endorsement limit, once the bank has declined to restore them
b.Equipment Breakdown endorsement pays for normal wear and tear on appliances
c.Service Line endorsement pays for damage to underground utility lines (water, sewer, power) on the insured's property between the street main and the home
d.Service Line endorsement pays for damage to the water piping and electrical wiring INSIDE the dwelling walls, including the cost of opening and repairing the wall to reach them

Explanation

A Service Line endorsement covers the homeowner's privately owned underground utility lines (water, sewer, electrical, gas, communications) running from the public main to the home, including the cost of excavation. Identity Theft endorsements typically pay RECOVERY expenses (lost wages, attorney fees, notarization) - not the stolen funds themselves. Equipment Breakdown covers sudden mechanical or electrical failure, never normal wear and tear.
