Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
A guaranteed insurability rider lets the owner purchase additional amounts of insurance at stated intervals (often every 3 years) or upon qualifying events such as marriage, birth of a child, or a mortgage — WITHOUT providing evidence of insurability. This protects future insurability: the insured can add coverage even if health deteriorates. It is ideal for young families whose needs will grow.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Changing the beneficiary requires no insurability evidence in any case; that is not what this rider does.
- C) Converting term to permanent is the term policy's conversion privilege, a separate feature.
- D) No rider guarantees the premium rate for life; premiums for additional coverage are based on attained age.
Memory hook
Guaranteed insurability = a standing offer to buy more coverage later, no health questions, no matter how sick you get. The option price is today; the coverage is tomorrow.
