Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

If there is an increase in the demand for a good produced by a perfectly competitive industry, the equilibrium price in the industry will increase and the existing firms will earn higher profits. This will act as an incentive for newer firms to enter the industry. As such, resources and firms will move into the industry because of the sudden increase in the demand for this good.
