Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

During the last Maunder minimum period, the Earth experienced the Little Ice Age. However, it is unknown whether the low solar activity caused this or it was just a coincidence. Also it may be possible that drought cycles or storms are correlated with solar activity. Current climate models however indicate that the magnitude of observed warming can only be explained by including anthropogenic factors.
