Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The dusty molecular clouds in spiral galaxies collide during a merger. The collision transfers angular momentum from the innermost gas clouds to the outer parts of the galaxies, which allows the inner clouds to migrate toward a common center. Huge amounts of dense clouds come together, resulting in a massive burst of star formation.
