Answer to Question 1

Externalities are external costs or benefits that firms or consumers do not consider when making decisions. When incentives are altered such that an externality is taken into account, firms and individuals are said to have internalized the externality. So, for example, suppose I raise bees next door to your apple orchard. The bees pollinate your tress and so there is an externality. The externality will be internalized if I buy your orchard.

Answer to Question 2

B Cyclical unemployment is the unemployment resulting from a recession.
