A whole life insurance policy is a type of permanent life insurance that provides coverage for the insured's entire life, as long as premiums are paid. It typically includes a level premium, a guaranteed death benefit, and a cash value component that accumulates over time. There is no regulatory requirement in Oklahoma or standard insurance practice that mandates a minimum face amount of $1,000 for whole life policies, making this statement incorrect.
* Option A: Correct (as the exception). Whole life policies do not require a $1,000 minimum face amount; insurers set minimums based on their underwriting guidelines, often higher.
* Option B: Incorrect (describes whole life). Whole life provides lifelong coverage, as per its definition.
* Option C: Incorrect (describes whole life). Premiums are typically payable until death or age 100, depending on the policy.
* Option D: Incorrect (describes whole life). While whole life provides a death benefit, it also accumulates cash value, but the phrasing "death benefit only" is misleading as it implies no cash value, which is not the exception here.

Anaccelerated death benefit (ADB)provision allows an insured to receive a portion of the life insurance death benefit before death under specific conditions, such as aterminal illness. Theterminal illness settlement benefitis a form of ADB, providing funds for medical or personal needs, as regulated in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4051).
* Option A: Incorrect. A home care benefit relates to long-term care, not ADB.
* Option B: Incorrect. A nonforfeiture extended term benefit is a policy lapse option, not an ADB.
* Option C: Correct. A terminal illness settlement benefit is a type of accelerated death benefit.
* Option D: Incorrect. A cost of living benefit adjusts benefits for inflation, not an ADB.

Term life insuranceprovides coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20 years) and does not accumulate cash value, unlikepermanent life insurance(e.g., whole life), which provides lifelong coverage with cash value.
Term policies may be renewable, but this is not automatic unless specified, and premium payment periods are shorter than permanent policies (Title 36 O.S. § 4002).
* Option A: Incorrect. Term life accumulates no cash value, not a smaller amount.
* Option B: Incorrect. Term life has a shorter premium payment period than permanent life.
* Option C: Correct. Term life remains in force for a specific period, unlike lifelong permanent coverage.
* Option D: Incorrect. Renewal is not automatic; it depends on the policy's terms.

Accidental death insurance(or accidental death and dismemberment, AD&D) covers death resulting from accidental bodily injury, independent of illness or intentional acts.Drowningis an example of an accidental cause of death typically covered under such policies. Exclusions often include death from illness, infections, or self-inflicted injuries, as outlined in standard policy provisions.
* Option A: Incorrect. Terminal illness is a natural cause, not covered by accidental death insurance.
* Option B: Correct. Drowning is an accidental cause of death, covered by AD&D policies.
* Option C: Incorrect. Infections are typically excluded as they are not accidental injuries.
* Option D: Incorrect. Self-inflicted wounds are intentional and excluded from coverage.
This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on "Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights," which covers accidental death coverage.

Backdatinga life insurance policy involves setting the policy's effective date earlier than the current date, often to secure a lower premium based on the insured's younger age at the earlier date. This requires the policyowner to pay premiums for the backdated period, as permitted under Oklahoma insurance practices (Title 36 O.S. § 4001 et seq.).
* Option A: Incorrect. Reinstating a lapsed policy involves restoring coverage after a lapse, not changing the effective date.
* Option B: Incorrect. Excluding preexisting conditions applies to health insurance, not backdating life insurance.
* Option C: Incorrect. Accepting late premiums relates to the grace period, not backdating.
* Option D: Correct. Backdating makes the policy effective on an earlier date.
