Insured
Insurer

None of these
Answer:
Beneficiary.
Beneficiary is the person named in the policy entitled to receive the proceeds from the policy in case of death of policy owners / insured. In case, the insurer didn’t name any beneficiary or beneficiary died before the death of insurer, the proceeds from policy will pass under the will.
Whereas, Insurer is the person/firm providing the insurance facility to policy owners and Insured is the person taking out the policy.
