Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Under the Florida Insurance Code, a fraternal benefit society is a society, without capital stock, organized on the lodge system with a representative form of government, conducted for the benefit of its members and their beneficiaries, and providing insurance benefits. Fraternals occupy a distinct place in Florida's insurance framework under the state's insurance regulators.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Fraternals have no capital stock and do not operate for shareholder profit.
- B) Fraternals are private member organizations, not government agencies.
- D) An agents' trade association is a professional group, not a lodge-system society providing benefits to members.
Memory hook
Fraternal = lodge system, members helping members.
