    9% interest will be credited to Craig's contract for that term

    Explanation:

    The index annuity works in such a way that if there is a cap then the interest rate can be maximum to that cap while minimum guaranteed indicates the minimum interest rate that will be credited.

    Now since the participation rate is 90% and the index has returned 10%, thus it will return 0.9*10% = 9% interest rate.

    This is well within the range of 2% - 14% and thus doesn't need any adjusting.
