Why D is correct
Under G.S. 58-62-21(d)(5), structured settlement benefits, including cash values, are protected up to $1,000,000 per payee, or the payee's beneficiaries. The other dollar limits — $300,000 aggregate life, $300,000/$500,000 health, and $5,000,000 unallocated annuity — attach to different categories of protected persons.

- A) $300,000 is the aggregate life cap including cash values, not the structured settlement limit.
- B) $500,000 applies to health benefit plans under G.S. 58-62-21(d)(2a), not structured settlements.
- C) $5,000,000 is the limit for other unallocated annuity contract holders under G.S. 58-62-21(d)(4).
