(Term life insurance may be purchased for all of the following reasons EXCEPT:)

Term life insurance is designed to provide pure death benefit protection for a specific period of time at a relatively low cost. It does not accumulate cash value and therefore is not appropriate for savings or investment objectives. This makes option D the correct answer.

Term life insurance is commonly used to cover temporary financial needs such as income replacement, mortgage protection, and family readjustment expenses. Because premiums are lower than permanent life insurance, it is well-suited for individuals seeking maximum death benefit for minimal premium.

Virginia exam materials emphasize that term insurance ends at the end of the term unless renewed or converted and does not build savings. Accumulating funds for education requires a policy with a cash value component, such as whole life or universal life, not term insurance.
