Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

No, this was not a controlled experiment, so no determination of cause and effect can be made. Perhaps there is something about teens who play video games that make them good at video games and at spatial reasoning, or maybe teens with good spatial reasoning enjoy games more.
