The correct answer by me is: A captive agent is an insurance agent that works for only one insurance company. Captive agents only sell the products of the insurance company they work for and cannot help individuals outside of that offering. The opposite of a captive agent is an independent agent that works for many insurance companies.

The title of my answer can be Captive Agent Definition

My answer's reference is Investopedia
