Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

A rider is an add-on cover to the base policy that provides additional benefits. Under this, if death of the policyholder occurs due to an accident then, apart from paying the life insurance benefit promised under the base policy, the policy will also pay an additional sum insured as specified in the rider.
