A client purchases a whole life policy under which all premiums will be fully paid by age 65, yet coverage continues for the rest of the insured's life. Which product does this describe?

Limited-pay whole life
BOrdinary whole life
CModified whole life
DInterest-sensitive whole life

Why this is the answer

Limited-pay whole life allows the insured to pay higher premiums for a defined period — for example, 20-Pay Life (20 years of premiums) or Life Paid-Up at 65 — after which no further premiums are required but the death benefit stays in force for the insured's entire life. The trade-off is higher premiums per year compared to ordinary whole life, offset by earlier freedom from payments and faster cash-value growth. Ordinary whole life charges premiums for life; modified whole life charges reduced premiums for a few early years, then higher; interest-sensitive whole life adjusts based on current declared rates.
