The correct answer is: A. Equally
A joint life policy is a type of life insurance policy that covers two or more people. The policy pays out a death benefit when one or both of the insured people die. The amount of the death benefit is typically the same for both people.
When a joint life policy matures, the amount received from the insurance company is distributed equally among the partners. This is because the policy is designed to provide financial protection for both people in the event of one or both of their deaths.
Option B is incorrect because the amount of the death benefit is typically the same for both people in a joint life policy. Option C is incorrect because the policy is not designed to provide a profit for the partners. Option D is incorrect because the amount received from the insurance company is distributed equally among the partners.
