Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Odd pricing is the practice of charging prices that aren't round numbers, especially prices ending in 9 or 5 rather than 0. One important reason for odd pricing is to give buyers the illusion that they are paying significantly less: 99.99 seems a lot less than 100 to some people.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
