-
15 days

7 days
Correct Answer
A. 7 daysExplanation
The grace period refers to the amount of time after the due date during which an insurance premium can still be paid without any penalty or coverage lapse. In this case, Barbara pays her premium every week, so her grace period would likely be shorter than the grace period for monthly or annual payments. The correct answer of 7 days suggests that Barbara has one week to pay her premium after the due date before any penalties or consequences occur.Rate this question:
