(b) is correct.

Amortization generally means paying off a debt over time by making regular payments that cover both interest and principal so the loan balance reaches zero by the end of the amortization period (40 years in your example).

Note: in accounting "amortization" can also mean spreading the cost of an intangible asset (like a patent) over its useful life.
