Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The business cycle is a periodic but irregular up-and-down movement of total production and other measures of economic activity. A business cycle has two phases: recession and expansion. The turning points are the peak and the trough. A business cycle runs from a trough to an expansion to a peak to a recession to a trough and then back to an expansion.
