A supplemental illustration's presentation requirement is that it must be...

• A. Accompanied by or preceded by a basic illustration
• B. Presented alone without any base illustration
• C. Not subject to any illustration requirements
• D. Provided only as a later addendum

Answer: (A)

Supplemental illustrations are extra projections that go beyond the base illustration, so they must be shown in the context of the policy’s standard, baseline figures. When a supplemental illustration is accompanied by or preceded by a basic illustration, the client can clearly see how the additional projections compare to guaranteed values and the policy’s standard terms. This helps prevent misinterpretation and keeps the presentation transparent and consistent. Presenting a supplemental illustration on its own would lack a baseline for comparison, which is why that option isn’t appropriate.
