Gayle is talking with her insurance broker and is comparing prices with the broker, who shows her that Company A can sell her insurance that will cost her a certain amount, and Company B has a higher premium but the deductible would be lower. Right now, they are talking about Company C and seeing what they offer. It sounds as though her broker is most likely _____.

The broker is comparing policies from multiple companies: Company A, Company B, and now Company C.

An actuary assesses insurance risks and pricing rather than helping a customer compare policies, so the best answer is an independent insurance agent.
