Level, decreasing, and increasing insurance are all types of what kind of insurance?

The answer is correct because level, decreasing, and increasing insurance are characteristics specifically associated with term life insurance. Term insurance provides coverage for a specific period, or "term," and can be structured in various ways depending on the policyholder's needs.

In level term insurance, the death benefit remains the same throughout the term of the policy. Decreasing term insurance has a death benefit that decreases over time, which can align with needs such as mortgage protection, where the outstanding debt decreases as payments are made. Increasing term insurance has a death benefit that increases over time, often intended to keep pace with inflation or future financial obligations.

Whole life insurance, on the other hand, provides a consistent death benefit and includes a cash value component that grows over time. Universal life is more flexible regarding premiums and death benefits but does not typically involve the structured changes seen in level, decreasing, or increasing term policies. Variable life insurance allows the policyholder to adjust the death benefit and cash value allocation among various investment options, which differs from the simplicity and purpose of term insurance types. Thus, the distinctions clearly align term insurance with the characteristics mentioned in the question.
