Correct answer: b.

The landlord's policy covers the building structure and the landlord's liability, but it doesn't cover your personal belongings or your personal liability. Renters insurance protects your personal property, provides liability coverage for you, and can cover additional living expenses if the unit becomes uninhabitable.
