Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Rent control certainly does have the effect of keeping a ceiling on rent. However, it only works in the prescribed area. As poor people begin to look for housing in the regulated areas they eventually come up empty handed as they discover that there is a shortage of such housing. They must then look for housing in the unregulated area. But by now many of those who couldn't find housing in the regulated area will be bidding up the rents in the unregulated areas of the city.
