Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The possibilities can be tested by measuring the density of the universe. If the density is too low the universe expands forever; if too high the universe stops and collapses. Also, measuring the amount by which the rate of past expansion differed from the current rate (by studying redshifts) can reveal the rate at which expansion is slowing and so what will happen.
