Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
The Illinois life solicitation rule (50 Ill. Adm. Code 930) places the disclosure duty on the parties to the solicitation — the insurer and the producer who solicits the sale — and the producer's practical role is delivering the Buyer's Guide and the policy summary to the applicant. The Illinois Department of Insurance oversees compliance but does not distribute the documents, and the applicant has no duty to chase them.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The applicant is the beneficiary of the disclosure regime, not the party charged with producing the documents.
- C) The Illinois Department of Insurance enforces the rule; it does not mail Buyer's Guides or summaries to applicants.
- D) The duty is not delegated exclusively to a managing general agent, and it does not depend on policy size.
Memory hook
Those who sell must disclose: insurer and producer together.
