Option B. Joint and survivor. A reduced annuity is payable to the annuitant during his lifetime with that amount continued to the joint annuitant during the joint annuitant's remaining lifetime, if any, after the death of annuitant.

Option C. Life with ten years certain. A reduced annuity is payable to the annuitant during his lifetime and if he dies within the ten-year certain period, measured from the commencement of annuity payments, such payments will be continued to his beneficiary during the balance of the ten-year certain period.
