Term life insuranceprovides coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20 years) at a lower premium cost than whole life insurance, making it ideal for individuals needing maximum death benefit protection but unable to afford the higher premiums of permanent insurance. Unlike whole life, term life does not accumulate cash value or allow policy loans.
Option A: Incorrect. Borrowing against policy values requires cash value, available in whole life, not term life.
Option B: Incorrect. Cash value accumulation is a feature of whole life, not term life.
Option C: Correct. Term life is appropriate for maximum protection at a lower cost when permanent insurance premiums are unaffordable.
Option D: Incorrect. Term life is not permanent insurance; whole life provides permanent coverage.
