Correct Answer
C. Issued in an amount not to exceed the amount of the loanExplanation
The correct answer is issued in an amount not to exceed the amount of the loan. A bank or lender is not allowed to profit if the borrower dies. They can only receive the money that is owed to them as that is their only insurable interest on that person or group. For example if you wanted to take out an insurance policy to pay off a $20,000 car loan in the event you die before paying off the loan, the insurance policy could not be worth more than $20,000.Rate this question:
