Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Receiving a lifetime appointment creates a moral hazard. Knowing that one cannot be fired creates an incentive to shirk work. Colleges minimize the problem by looking for signals such as publications and an ongoing commitment to one's discipline during the six year probation period with the belief that those who work hard for these six years are also likely to work hard throughout the future.
