Solution

The correct option is C joint life policy

A Joint Life Policy (JLP) is an insurance policy which is taken out by the partnership firm on the joint lives of all the partners. The amount of policy is payable by the Insurance Company either on the death or on maturity of policy, whichever is earlier. The firm pays annual premium to the insurer against the policy.

The objective of creating Joint Life Policy is to minimize financial hardships during the payment of a large sum of capital on the death or retirement of a partner.
