Nope, only option I qualifies. II has issues with the estate.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe both options could be tricky, but I lean towards just option I qualifying.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about installment options not qualifying if they go to the estate.

I think the interest option might qualify for the marital deduction since the spouse has the right to withdraw proceeds.

This is a tough one, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I'll start by identifying the key factors the question is asking about, then carefully evaluate each option against those factors.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll break down each option and analyze how the surviving spouse's rights and the distribution of proceeds align with the marital deduction requirements. That should help me determine the correct answer.

This question seems tricky, but I think I can work through it. I'll need to carefully review the details of the two life insurance settlement options and how they relate to the federal estate tax marital deduction.

I'm leaning towards Option B. The installment option where the remaining installments are paid to the surviving spouse's estate seems to be the only one that qualifies.

Option C seems right, since the life insurance proceeds left to the surviving spouse under both the interest and installment options would qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction.
