A 'conditionally renewable' policy allows the insurer to decline renewal:

a.Only after the policy has been in force for twenty years, a time restriction this provision does not impose
b.For absolutely any reason the insurer chooses
c.Only for specific reasons stated in the contract, and not because of the insured's declining health
d.Under no circumstances at all

Explanation

A conditionally renewable policy lets the insurer refuse renewal only for reasons spelled out in the contract (such as the insured reaching a certain age or leaving employment), but it may not decline renewal simply because the insured's health has deteriorated. It is not renewable-or-cancelable at the insurer's whim, is not guaranteed under all circumstances, and has no twenty-year rule. This form gives the insurer more control than guaranteed renewable but still protects against nonrenewal for health reasons.
