Answer:
a) $200,000 to Jack
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Life insurance policy amount of Marilyn Simms = $200,000
The primary beneficiary = Jack
The contingent beneficiaries = Their children
Now, the distribution of the policy could be taken by only Jack as he is her husband plus he is also a primary benefit of her life insurance policy,
So, the whole amount i.e $200,000 is distributed to Jack
