The one who owes the obligation to another

The one who owes the obligation to another

• A. Obligee
• B. Indemnitor
• C. Indemnitee
• D. Debtor

Answer: (B)

In an indemnity arrangement, the party who promises to cover losses or reimburse the other is the indemnitor. They owe the obligation to indemnify the other party, who is the indemnitee and stands to receive the protection. The term “debtor” is a broader, general label for someone who owes a debt, not specifically the contractual promise to indemnify. The obligee is the recipient to whom the obligation is owed, not the one who bears the obligation itself. So the correct concept is indemnitor, the party that owes the indemnity to the other.
