What type of insurance is typically part of a comprehensive housing plan?

  1. Auto insurance.

  2. Life insurance.

  3. Homeowners or renters insurance.

  4. Health insurance.

The correct answer is: Homeowners or renters insurance.

Homeowners or renters insurance is typically part of a comprehensive housing plan because it specifically addresses the needs and risks associated with housing. This type of insurance protects an individual's property and possessions against damages, losses, or theft. For homeowners, it also provides liability coverage in case someone is injured on their property. Renters insurance serves a similar purpose for those who do not own their dwelling, covering personal property within the rented space. While auto, life, and health insurance are important components of a broader personal finance strategy, they do not directly relate to housing in the same way. Auto insurance pertains specifically to vehicles, life insurance safeguards against financial loss due to death, and health insurance covers medical expenses. In contrast, homeowners or renters insurance directly protects the place where a person lives, making it a fundamental aspect of comprehensive housing planning.
