Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Government policies and funding priorities can have dramatic effects on how industries operate and how they evolve. Patents reduce the threat of new entrants. Government's market actions, taxes, and regulations also affect business. Government also affects the industry structure through judges and courts. For instance, anti-trust laws prevent dominant players from exploiting their power and becoming monopolies.
Organizations frequently lobby for government action to influence how the five forces operate and to improve industry profitability. Lobbyists concentrate on regulatory policy, taxes, government subsidies, and other issues that affect the industry.
