Which practice is considered unethical and involves providing clients with inaccurate information about policies?

The practice referred to in this question is twisting, which involves persuading clients to replace their existing insurance policies with new policies by providing them with misleading or inaccurate information. This practice is considered unethical because it misrepresents the benefits, terms, or features of the new policy to create a false impression that the new coverage is better suited for the client than their current policy, when that may not be the case.

Twisting undermines the trust between clients and insurance professionals, leading to potential financial harm for clients who are misled into making poor decisions about their insurance coverage. The ethical standards in the insurance industry emphasize the importance of transparency and honesty in communications with clients, making twisting particularly egregious.

Other options relate to questionable practices but do not specifically describe the act of providing clients with false information about policies. Therefore, twisting is the term most accurately matched to the scenario in the question.
