What is called the substitution of one person's claims, rights, or securities for those of another person?

  1. Confession

  2. Subrogation

  3. Corroborating Evidence

  4. Attachment

The correct answer is: Subrogation

Subrogation is the process of replacing one person's claims, rights, or securities with another person's. It is often used in insurance or legal contexts when one party assumes the rights and responsibilities of another. This is different from a confession (option A), in which someone admits to a wrongdoing or guilt, and corroborating evidence (option C), which supports or confirms a statement or claim with additional evidence. Attachment (option D) is the legal process of seizing someone's property as collateral for a debt or claim, which is also different from subrogation.
