Choose the correct statement.

There is no harm if an agent shares his commission with his client who has taken a policy from him
Sharing a part of the agent's commission is after all a trade practice and therefore, not objectionable
The agent is not obliged to disclose his commission to his client even if asked by the latter
The agent has to show his licence to his prospect-customer on demand

The correct answer is D. The agent has to show his licence to his prospect-customer on demand.

Option A is incorrect because it is not always in the best interest of the client for the agent to share his commission. The agent may be more likely to sell a policy that is not in the client’s best interest if he is sharing the commission.

Option B is incorrect because sharing a part of the agent’s commission is not always a trade practice. In some cases, it may be considered unethical for the agent to share his commission.

Option C is incorrect because the agent is obliged to disclose his commission to his client, even if the client does not ask. This is because the client has a right to know how much the agent is making from the sale of the policy.

Option D is correct because the agent is required by law to show his license to his prospect-customer on demand. This is to ensure that the customer is dealing with a licensed and qualified agent.
