Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

People will choose where to live depending on the costs and benefits of each available alternative. For those who choose to live in an apartment away from the central business district, the net benefit of that apartment must be higher than the net benefit from other apartments. Since costs include the opportunity cost of time and the cost of commuting, the direct and indirect costs vary for different people. This does not mean that they are not optimizing; they have different preferences and face different costs. As a result, they make different decisions.
