Explanation
A juvenile life policy is a permanent life contract issued on a minor (typically age 0 to 14). The 'payor benefit' or 'payor rider' is a key feature: if the adult payor (parent or guardian) responsible for premiums dies or becomes totally disabled before the child reaches a stated age (commonly 21 or 25, but sometimes earlier), the insurer waives future premiums and the policy remains fully in force on the child's life until the rider expires. The rider protects the child's coverage during the years when the family most needs the safety net. Option B is wrong; the policy continues either via the payor rider or via the child taking over premiums. Option C is wrong; the adult is the owner until the child reaches age of majority (typically 18 or 21, then ownership may transfer). Option D is fabricated; juvenile policies do not bonus-out at age 18.
