Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

For a worker to choose to work in a high-risk job, the wage must be high enough that he or she is indifferent between the high-risk job and his next best alternative. His next best alternative could be a low-risk, low-wage job. This means that high-risk jobs will pay higher wages. High-risk industries, like the logging industry, will attract those workers who are willing to bear an occupational risk in return for a higher wage. These wage differences that are used to attract workers to otherwise undesirable occupations are known as compensating wage differentials.
