Though an individual's agent contract does NOT specifically address his practice of providing clients with insurance advice, his power or authority to do so is considered

This choice suggests that the agent's authority to provide insurance advice is restricted. However, implied authority does not inherently imply limitations; rather, it extends the agent's powers based on reasonable expectations and customary practices.

Express authority refers to explicitly granted powers within the agent contract. In this scenario, where insurance advice is not mentioned, the agent's actions regarding insurance advice fall under implied authority, not express authority.

Apparent authority pertains to situations where a principal leads third parties to believe an agent possesses certain powers, even if those powers are not explicitly granted. While similar in concept to implied authority, the distinction lies in the source of the perceived authority—apparent authority originates from the principal's actions, not the agent's interpretation.
