Answer to Question 1

C
This is the definition of history within the context of experiments.

Answer to Question 2

D
Confounded experiments have a design flaw in that some variable has not been properly controlled and co-varies with changes in the independent variable. This prevents the researcher from being able to draw conclusions at the end of the study.
