Correct answer: "A higher deductible often results in lower monthly premiums."

Explanation: Insurers trade off risk and cost — plans that make you pay more up front (a higher deductible) generally charge lower monthly premiums, while plans with low deductibles typically have higher premiums. (There are exceptions based on plan design, subsidies, employer contributions, or regulations, but this is the usual relationship.)
