Solution
Answer
The answer is C. Convertible Term
Explanation
Option 1: Limited-Pay Whole life
Limited-Pay Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance where premiums are paid for a specified number of years, but coverage lasts for the insured's entire life. It does not start as temporary coverage.
Option 2: Endowment policy
An Endowment policy is a type of life insurance that pays out a lump sum either on the policy's maturity or on the death of the insured. It is not designed to start as temporary coverage and then convert to permanent coverage.
Option 3: Convertible Term
Convertible Term life insurance starts as temporary coverage and includes a provision that allows the policyholder to convert it to a permanent life insurance policy without providing evidence of insurability. This means the insured can switch to a permanent policy without undergoing a medical exam or proving their health status.
Option 4: Decreasing Term
Decreasing Term life insurance is a type of term life insurance where the death benefit decreases over time, usually in line with a mortgage or other debt. It does not have a provision to convert to permanent coverage.
