Answer to Question 1

If all the soldiers march in step, a single frequency disturbance is applied to the bridge. If that frequency coincides with a natural frequency of oscillation of the bridge, a large amplitude response is possible. By breaking step, the driving force will have many random frequencies of smaller amplitude.

Answer to Question 2

C
