Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Firms that are price takers will decide how much to produce based on the given market price. The quantity at which the marginal cost of producing the last unit of a good is equal to any given market price determines the firm's supply decisions. However, monopolists do not vary their production based on market price because they set the price; it is not relevant to ask how much of a good a monopolist will produce at a given price. Since a monopolist's production decision is based on demand, it cannot be depicted as an independent supply curve (keep in mind that the supply curve is willingness to sell at various prices, regardless of demand). A monopolist chooses both price and quantity.
