This is a tricky one, but I think option B is the correct answer. The deduction is reduced by any taxes and administrative expenses chargeable against the bequest.

Option A is incorrect. A life insurance policy assigned to a charity less than 3 years before death does not qualify for the deduction. The policy needs to be assigned at least 3 years prior to death.
