The correct examination answer is B — $100,000. A standard Dwelling Policy primarily provides property insurance; personal liability protection is added through the Personal Liability Supplement. Under that supplement, Coverage L — Personal Liability responds when an insured becomes legally liable for bodily injury or property damage caused by a covered occurrence. Coverage M separately provides Medical Payments to Others. The Series 17-70 outline expressly identifies the Personal Liability Supplement as a tested Dwelling Policy endorsement.
The traditional standard limit associated with Coverage L in licensing material is $100,000 per occurrence. Policy analyses of the ISO dwelling liability supplement also illustrate Coverage L using a $100,000 limit.
A technical distinction is important for claims practice: the actual contractual limit is ultimately the amount shown in the policy declarations or Personal Liability Schedule. Therefore, higher limits may be purchased when offered by the insurer. The question is testing the standard/default licensing-exam limit rather than asserting that every dwelling liability supplement is permanently restricted to $100,000.
Coverage L also generally includes the insurer's defense obligation in addition to covered damages, subject to the policy's exclusions and conditions.
Therefore, the required answer is B.
