Correct answer
Explanation
In insurance, a participating (or 'par') policy is one where the policyowner shares in the insurance company's divisible surplus profits. These policies pay dividends to policyholders when the company performs well. Non-par (non-participating) policies do not share in surplus profits - premiums are fixed and no dividends are paid.
