Which type of contract is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a loan used to buy a home. The borrower repays it over time, usually through monthly payments, so the cost is spread out rather than paid all at once. A mortgage does not let the lender take possession of the home immediately; foreclosure requires specific legal steps if the borrower defaults. The correct choice is D, one that divides the cost of a home into affordable monthly payments.
