B) $1,400,000

Explanation:

Policy A will cover $1,000,000 and policy B will cover $1,400,000

When a single insured company has two or more policies from different insurance companies, the contribution by equal shares provision establishes that the losses must be divided equally between the insurance companies until the full amount is paid.
