Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

An increase in population increases the supply of labor. As a result, the labor supply curve shifts rightward. Neither the labor demand curve not the production function shifts. The increase in the supply of labor means that employment increases and the real wage rate falls. The economy moves along its (unchanged) production function to a higher level of potential GDP.
