Which type of insurance covers the loss of physical property or the loss of its income-producing abilities?

Property insurance covers tangible property and the risk to it, including the income the property would generate if it’s damaged. It protects the physical building, its contents, and, when a covered peril disrupts use, the revenue the property would normally produce (like rent or business income). Peril is a cause of loss, not a type of policy, so it isn’t the answer. Casualty focuses on liability and losses to others, not the property itself, and health insurance covers medical expenses. So the type of coverage described is property insurance.
