For which circumstances would YP provide coverage?

Yield Protection (YP) is specifically designed to provide coverage for producers against the loss of crop yield caused by adverse conditions. The significant aspect of YP is that it helps protect farmers from yield losses due to factors like weather events, such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, or other natural disasters that can directly impact the amount of crop harvested.

While market overproduction and pest infestation can lead to financial challenges for farmers, they do not directly relate to the yield losses covered by Yield Protection. Market overproduction affects prices rather than the quantity produced, and pest infestations may lead to losses that can be covered under different policies depending on the specific circumstances, but they are not categorized under YP coverage by default.

Thus, the key reason B is the correct answer is that it aligns directly with the purpose of YP, which specifically addresses yield reductions due to weather-related damage, distinguishing it from other scenarios that do not fit within its coverage parameters.
