The option that best describes term life insurance is:

A) The insured pays a premium for a specified number of years.

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (the "term"), and the insured pays premiums during that time. If the insured dies within the term, the policy pays out a death benefit; if they outlive the term, the coverage ends, and there is typically no payout or cash value.
