Correct answer: The HO-3 uses replacement cost for the dwelling and actual cash value (ACV) for personal property, while the HO-5 provides replacement cost coverage for both the dwelling and personal property.

Brief why: HO-3 is "open perils" for the dwelling but "named perils" (usually ACV) for contents; HO-5 is broader — open perils for both and typically replacement-cost on contents.
