The "death benefit" associated with a variable annuity contract means that if the contract holder dies, the correct answer is:


A. prior to annuitization, the amount invested in the contract is returned to a beneficiary


In this case, if the annuity holder passes away before annuitization (the conversion of the contract into a series of periodic payments), the beneficiary will receive the amount invested in the contract as a death benefit.
