C - Costs associated with obtaining the loan.

Answer 2

Answer: Costs associated with obtaining the loan.

Closing costs for the buyer refers to the cost of taking out a home loan and costs associated with owning a home.

Costs of taking out a home loan include costs of origination, processing the home loan and the cost of home inspection, cost of credit report etc.

Costs of owning a home include home insurance, pest infection fees, home owner’s association fees etc.

The chart lists taxes and origination fees separately. Hence the item ‘costs associated with obtaining the loan’ will also be referred to as closing costs
