a.
For a standard fixed-rate, fully amortizing mortgage the total payment stays the same each period. Early payments are mostly interest (because the outstanding balance — and thus interest) is highest). As you pay down principal, the interest portion falls and the principal portion of each payment grows, so by the end payments are mostly principal.
