Which of the following Long Term Disability clauses states that insureds are considered totally disabled...

The wording in the question—“cannot perform the major duties of a gainful occupation for which they are reasonably suited by education, training, or experience”—matches the any occupation definition of total disability used in many long-term disability (LTD) policies. Under an any occupation clause , an insured is considered totally disabled only if the disability prevents them from working in any gainful job that they could reasonably be expected to do based on their background (education, training, and experience). This is a stricter standard than “own/regular occupation.”

Option C, the regular (own) occupation clause , defines total disability as the inability to perform the substantial and material duties of the insured’s own occupation (the job they were doing when disabled), even if they might be able to work elsewhere. Option A, partial disability , applies when the insured can still perform some duties or work part-time and typically experiences reduced income. Option B, presumptive disability , applies to severe, specified losses (e.g., loss of sight, speech, hearing, or limbs) that automatically qualify as total disability. Therefore, the clause described is the any occupation clause .
