Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

An economically efficient outcome means that at the equilibrium price the marginal benefit of the last unit of output sold is equal to its marginal cost. This will occur only in markets that are competitive (many buyers and many sellers) and there are no price controls.
