Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Transaction costs are costs associated with exchanging goods and services. They include information costs associated with finding out price, quality, and other characteristics of the good and the other party in the exchange, and costs of contracting and enforcing the contract. Organized markets, retail stores and shopping malls, advertising, and middlemen are several institutions that have developed to reduce transaction costs.
