Estimating the life insurance that Sam and Lilly would require based on their income using multiple of earnings appraoch since we have limited information.

Using a multiple of 10 = (60,000+40,000) *10 = 1,000,000

Given that Lilly already has been covered of $80,000 by her employer the couple can opt for a cumulative coverage of $1,000,000. A term life insurance will protect against early death and make investments to prepare for a longer life.

Considering above, option:

Option C. Purchase a $1,000,000 30-year level term insurance policy. the annual premium for this policy is $1,200.
