Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The invisible hand is guided by the market price. Market prices act as the most important piece of information, leading the right buyers to buy and the right sellers to sell; no more, no less. It ensures that self-interest and social interest are perfectly aligned. It also allows economic agents to make optimal decisions.
