you make an offer to buy your neighbor's house.

Explanation:

As seen from the aforementioned alternatives which all have insurable interest.Thus they are expantiated;

1)Firstly,a savings and loan company holding a mortgage on your home has an insurable interest on interest of the property on insurance premium.

2)Secondly,your lease makes you liable for fire damage to your rented premises makes for an insurable interest which is in form of mortagee/morgator contract,even if it isn't your property,it makes you liable for an insurable interest.

3)Thirdly,you have custody of a valuable painting when the owner is away also makes you eligible for an insurable interest.Though here as carrier,it still gives the right to an insurable interest courtesy of the fact that it is in your custody.

Finally,you make an offer to buy your neighbor's house doesn't make you eligible for an insurable interest because it's just a matter of a vocal agreement,thus no transaction has been carried out and therefore,no property transferred to your custody either way.

B) you make an offer to buy your neighbor's house.

Explanation:

An insurable interest is something (a material or immaterial object) that an individual believes he should obtain insurance to protect himself from unforeseen events such as economic losses, death, etc.  

For example, you can obtain insurance for your house or your car (material objects), a bank can obtain insurance for your mortgage (immaterial object), etc.

When you make an offer to buy something, there is nothing (no object) you can insure since you don't own anything yet.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
