Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The dominant strategy for both firms may be to pursue an aggressive, even expensive, advertising campaign in order to protect against the potential erosion of their own market shares. Advertising may simply be defensive in nature. If Coca-Cola anticipates that Pepsi will launch the new ad campaign, it is likely to launch its own campaign to thwart the ability of Pepsi to lure customers away.
