Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": towards the interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mortgage payments are composed of the principal and the interest. During the early life of the mortgage, most of the payments go towards the interest because it is calculated according to the outstanding balance of the mortgage, which is higher at the beginning but as the loan approaches, the maturity date most of the payments will be directed to the principal and a minimum to interest.
