Which statement about the application copy when a policy is issued is true?

• A. It is stapled to the back of the policy and becomes part of the entire contract
• B. It is stapled to the back but remains separate
• C. It is destroyed
• D. It is sent to the insured's attorney

Answer: (A)

The statement tests how the application information becomes part of the insurance contract. When a policy is issued, the application copy is attached to the policy and incorporated into the entire contract. This keeps all terms and the representations made during underwriting together in one binding document, so the insurer can rely on those statements as part of the agreement. It isn’t kept separate, destroyed, or sent elsewhere like to an attorney—the standard practice is to keep it with the policy to preserve the complete contract.
