Why C is correct
Under N.Y. Ins. Law §3203(a)(4), the policyholder may request and receive a copy of the application within 15 days after the policy is issued, unless the application was already attached to and delivered with the policy.

- D) 31 days is the life insurance grace period figure for non-flexible-premium policies, not the application-copy window.
