Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a variable rate loan: A variable rate loan is a type of loan where the interest rate fluctuates over time based on changes in a benchmark interest rate, such as the prime rate or LIBOR.

Identify the primary risk associated with variable rate loans: The main risk is that the interest rate may increase over time, which can lead to higher loan payments for the borrower.

Compare the given options: Evaluate each option to determine which one aligns with the primary risk of a variable rate loan. For example, penalties for early repayment or fixed interest rates are not directly related to the risk of fluctuating interest rates.

Focus on the correct answer: The correct answer is the one that highlights the possibility of increasing interest rates and higher payments, as this is the defining risk of variable rate loans.

Conclude the analysis: Summarize why the other options are incorrect, emphasizing that they do not address the core risk of interest rate variability in this type of loan.
