c. 30-year term policy

Reason: At age 35 you need coverage for 30 years to reach age 65. A 30-year term matches that period and is the most cost‑effective way to insure income replacement until retirement. A whole life policy is more expensive and provides lifelong coverage you don't need, while 10- or 20-year terms would expire before age 65.
