Since Emma is a minor, naming her directly as a beneficiary would complicate access to funds until she reaches the age of majority. Additionally, Steve, given his circumstances, would not be a suitable option. Instead,naming a trusteefor Emma's benefit would ensure that the funds are managed responsibly until she is of legal age to handle the inheritance. This setup aligns with Bethenny's intention to provide financial security for Emma, allowing a trusted adult to manage the funds in Emma's best interests​​.

In cases where multiple insurers are involved in covering a large sum assured, it is common practice for each insurer to pay their respective portion of the death benefit directly to the beneficiary. Here, United Life insures $3 million and Extra Life insures the remaining $7 million. Upon Maxine’s death, each company is responsible for paying out their portion, meaning United Life will pay $3 million and Extra Life will pay $7 million directly to the beneficiary. Assuris, mentioned in Option D, is an industry-backed entity that provides protection in case of an insurer’s insolvency but does not issue death benefits​​​.

Group life insurance coverage often requires the employee to be "actively at work" on the day the coverage takes effect. Although Ayla’s coverage would have started on May 5, she was not actively at work on that date due to her medical condition. Most group insurance policies have this requirement, and without meeting it, coverage typically does not commence. Therefore,Option Caccurately reflects why the death benefit would not be paid​​.

In this case, Jasper is concerned with covering a specific loan balance that will decrease over time as the loan is repaid. A20-year decreasing term life insurancepolicy is typically used for situations where the coverage amount decreases over the policy term, aligning with the declining balance of a loan. This is often the most cost-effective option, as the coverage amount decreases in line with the outstanding loan balance, ensuring that the insurance will pay off any remaining loan balance if Jasper dies within the 20-year term.

Other options, such as a standard term policy with a level benefit (Option B), a Term-100 (Option C), or a Universal Life policy (Option D), provide level or flexible coverage not specifically suited to decreasing liabilities like a loan. Therefore,Option Ais the best choice to meet Jasper’s needs cost-effectively​​​.
