Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Yes. Because the number of apartments rented is decreased, some consumer surplus is lost and some producer surplus is lost. Part of these loses are gained by the tenants in the form of reduced rental payments. But the sum of the losses not gained by the tenants is the deadweight loss.
