Answer:

A balloon mortgage is a type of a loan that requires the borrower to make the payment as a lump-sum at the maturity period while under the ARM the borrower is allowed to choose the small periodic payments suitable for both the lender and the borrower.

ARM is the abbreviation for Adjustable Rate Mortgage. therefore the loan repayment changes according to agreement between the lender and the borrower.
