Answer:

d. They are tax free to terminal ill insured

Dividends in participating policies are not taxed, whether you are chronically ill or not. The IRS considers dividends distributed by participating policies as unused premiums, they are not considered income. Only if any interests are earned, then only the interests will be taxed.
