Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)

Why A is correct

CIC §381 requires a policy to specify: (a) the parties between whom the contract is made; (b) the property or life insured; (c) the interest of the insured if not the absolute owner; (d) the risks insured against; (e) the period during which the insurance continues; and (f) the premium, or if the exact premium is determinable only at termination, the basis and rates for determining it. The agent's commission is a business arrangement between the insurer and its producer; it is not a required policy specification.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B) The parties to the contract are a required specification under Section 381(a).
  • C) The risks insured against must be stated under Section 381(d).
  • D) The period of coverage is required under Section 381(e).

Memory hook

Six items on the policy list — parties, subject, interest, risks, period, premium. Commission isn't on it.
