C. the premium will not increase at renewal.
D. the producer will reduce the premium to match less expensive equivalent coverage available from another company.
Explanation: New Jersey requires a minimum 10-day free look period for life insurance, a legal promise. Choice B is correct. Choice A is illegal as benefits are fixed. Choice C is incorrect as term premiums may increase. Choice D is rebating, which is illegal.

B. redefine the authority of insurance companies to issue policies.
C. establish that the regulation of insurance company advertising lies solely within the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
D. establish that the process of transacting insurance is not interstate commerce.
Explanation: The McCarran-Ferguson Act (1945) grants states primary authority to regulate the insurance industry, limiting federal oversight unless state regulation is absent or inadequate. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as the Act does not address insurance companies' authority to issue policies. Choice C is incorrect as the FCC does not regulate insurance advertising. Choice D is incorrect because, while the Act clarifies insurance is not interstate commerce for certain regulatory purposes, its primary focus is state vs. federal authority.
