Answer 2

The answer is B. Adjustable rate mortgage is a mortgage loan where the interest rate stays for for a certain period of time then it changes either up or down based on an index. It is also called variable-rate mortgage or tracker mortgage. This type of mortgage loan permits a debtor to have a lower initial payment if and only if they agree to assume the risk of the changes in the interest rate.
