Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A company may include a choice of law clause and a forum selection clause in an online agreement to avoid the time and cost of litigating disputes. The choice of law provision provides the law of a particular state, such as California state law, will govern any dispute that arises under the contract.
