Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Iron is the most tightly bound of all atomic nuclei. Nuclear fusion is able to release energy by combining less tightly bound nuclei into a more tightly bound nucleus, but once the gas in the core of the star has been converted to iron, there are no nuclear reactions that can combine iron nuclei and release energy. The iron core is a dead end in the evolution of a massive star.
