You have an automobile with liability coverage under one policy ($500,000) and another automobile with liability coverage under a separate policy ($1,000,000). How much will policy B pay if you were involved in an accident involving an automobile you do not own?

Option C is incorrect because it assumes that policy A and B would split the cost, which is also not how liability coverage works.

Therefore, in this situation, policy B will cover 2
