Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

In a trust game, the first mover has to decide whether or not to trust the second mover. If he chooses to trust, the second mover can either cooperate or defect. If he cooperates, both the players will earn a higher payoff than they would have if the first player chose not to trust. If the second player defects, he will earn a higher payoff than the first player. Therefore, the second mover always has an incentive to defect. Given that the second mover is likely to defect, the first mover chooses not to trust. This results in a socially inefficient equilibrium because both the players can improve their payoffs by changing their respective strategies.
