Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The short seller is expecting that the price of the stock will fall. By borrowing the stock and then selling it immediately he is anticipating that the price of the stock will fall. If it falls after he sells it and before he needs to return the stock to the lender he makes money from the transaction by pocketing the difference. If however, he is wrong and the price of the company's stock rises after he sells it he suffer losses by the amount by which the stock's price has risen times the number of shares he borrowed.
