Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
The buyer's guide is the generic educational document required under Michigan's solicitation rules (M.C.L. 500.1371 to M.C.L. 500.1383 and Michigan Administrative Code R 500.1371 to R 500.1387). It explains the types of life insurance and buying considerations in general terms, complementing rather than replacing the product-specific policy summary that describes the actual contract applied for.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Medical history is recorded on the application for underwriting, not in the buyer's guide.
- B) The policy itself is the legal contract; the buyer's guide is educational and creates no contractual rights.
- D) The buyer's guide does not replace the policy summary; both disclosures are required even for direct-response sales.
Memory hook
The guide is the textbook, not the contract.
