Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The solar nebula theory predicts the Sun's heat would drive light gases far out, making the jovian planets form far out, and letting denser terrestrials form closer in. But most of the jovians yet discovered are quite close to their home stars, perhaps due to tidal interactions causing these planets to spiral inward after they formed farther out.
