Answer to Question 1

D
The text describes various attributes that are likely to accelerate the rate of adoption of a product or service. These include a relative advantage (e.g., a cure for cancer), compatibility with the needs of consumers, and ease of observability or trialability. On the other hand, complex products or services are difficult for the consumer to understand and may slow the diffusion rate. This may be found in the Product Diffusion section (10-5).

Answer to Question 2

B
