Maryland Casualty Company, the case in the text involving whether on a policy of insurance covering "direct physical loss of or damage to" a building that allows the insurer the option of paying either "the cost of repairing the building" or "the loss of value," the insurer must also compensate the insured for the diminution in value of the building if the insured elects to repair the building?

• D) That when a policy promised to pay the insured's loss, the insured has no claim for diminution in value if repairs are made.
