Which statement describes VA loan Qualified Mortgage classification?

Qualified Mortgage status for VA loans comes from the agency safe-harbor framework. When a loan is originated under VA underwriting guidelines, it falls into the agency category and qualifies as a safe-harbor Qualified Mortgage. This means lenders have presumption of compliance with the Ability-to-Repay rule, as long as the loan features align with VA/agency standards (for example, no risky features and reasonable fees). That’s why this statement is correct: VA loans made under VA standards are considered safe-harbor Qualified Mortgages. The other options don’t fit because VA loans can be QM, not all VA loans share the same QM status as conventional loans (agency QM is distinct from General QM), and qualifying standards do affect QM classification.
