  1. A.
    $100,000
  2. B.
    $25,000
  3. C.
    $50,000 Correct
  4. D.
    $60,000
The Why

The answer is "$50,000"

For injury or death of more than one person in one crash, Illinois requires at least $50,000 in liability coverage. The trap is $25,000; that is the single-person figure printed on the line above, and a driver who reads only the first bullet stops before the multi-person line loads.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. $100,000

$100,000 is not the minimum listed here for injury or death of more than one person in one crash; the Illinois minimum in this passage is $50,000. This answer reaches for a round six-figure number that sounds like a serious injury cap, a figure often quoted in agent advertising rather than the state minimum.

B. $25,000

That is the single-person bodily injury minimum, not the multi-person minimum. This answer reads the first injury bullet and stops, treating one figure as if it covered every injured person in the crash.

D. $60,000

The manual lists no sixty-thousand minimum for any coverage type. This answer rounds up from the single-person figure by a memorable amount, guessing at a number the manual never lists.
