Answer 1

A

Explanation: Statement (a) is not universally true and can be misleading — debt size alone shouldn't dictate a longer payoff. You should consider interest rates, your budget, and goals (so sometimes larger debts should be paid off faster). Options b, c, and d are correct considerations.
