Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Price floors are legal minimums; it is legal to charge the floor price, or higher. If the equilibrium price is legal, that is, the equilibrium price is above the price floor so that the price floor is below the equilibrium price, then the price floor has no effect on the market because the market price does not change.
