Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Venture capital is his most likely source. The reason is that bank financing is not likely to work because the bank will perceive the venture as being too risky. Also, since he doesn't have any collateral this would be another reason that the loan would not likely be approved. The venture capitalist is still taking on the same risk but is able to spread that risk over a diversified portfolio of different projects.
