The correct response is:

It is expressed as the APR of a loan.

Interest can be expressed in various ways, but the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a common way to quantify the cost of borrowing. The other statements are inaccurate or misleading. Interest is not only calculated once and is based on the principal amount as well as the terms of the loan.
