Why B is correct
Noncancelable is the strongest renewability status: the insurer may neither cancel the policy nor increase the premium. Guaranteed renewable guarantees that the policy will be renewed, but it permits premium increases so long as they apply to the entire class of policies rather than to one insured. Most individual LTC policies are guaranteed renewable rather than noncancelable. AH-V.1g tests these renewability and rate distinctions.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Neither form allows arbitrary cancellation; both protect renewal while premiums are paid.
- C) The premium lock belongs to noncancelable policies, not to guaranteed renewable ones.
- D) The two differ precisely on whether premiums can be increased.
Memory hook
Noncancelable = locked renewal AND locked premium; guaranteed renewable = locked renewal, flexible class premium.
