J has a whole life policy with a return of premium rider. Which of the following would best describe this rider?

A term rider on a permanent policy

The correct answer is:

A term rider on a permanent policy.

Explanation:

A return of premium rider refers to the case when the insured adds some additional clauses to the normal policy for an extra cost. A rider is obtained considering a specific period of time in which the policy would be paid to the beneficiaries in case of death, sickness or disability of the insured person. In case that the insured subject lives more than the pre-established period of time the amount that he paid for the return of premium rider would be given back to him. For example if J pays $50 monthly for a 30 years life term policy and he lives after that period of time, he will receive $18.000 at the end of the contract as a premium return.
