Tenant Rachel buys an HO-4 renters policy. Which coverage is provided by the HO-4 that DIFFERS from what an HO-3 owner would receive?

a.HO-4 provides Coverage A on the dwelling at full replacement cost in exactly the same way an HO-3 does, with Coverage B other structures at 10 percent of Coverage A and Coverage C contents at 50 percent
b.HO-4 provides only Coverage E liability and Coverage F medical payments; the tenant's own belongings must be insured under a separate inland marine floater bought from the landlord's insurer, which is no part of the HO-4
c.HO-4 provides NO Coverage A dwelling because the tenant does not own the building; it provides Coverages C (contents), D (loss of use), E (liability) and F (medical payments)
d.HO-4 provides Coverage B other structures on the tenant's share of the garage and storage areas, but no Coverage C, so the tenant's furniture and clothing are uninsured under the form

Explanation

HO-4 is the renters/tenants form. The tenant does not own the dwelling, so there is no Coverage A and no Coverage B. The tenant receives Coverage C for personal property, Coverage D for loss of use/additional living expense, Coverage E personal liability, and Coverage F medical payments to others. HO-6 (condo unit-owners) provides limited Coverage A for interior improvements and the unit-owner's share, plus C, D, E and F.
