Answer to Question 1

Preference reversals occur because of present bias. Present bias implies that an individual places much higher weight on present consumption than future consumption. So, if a consumer is not able to consume a good today, he may not want to consume it tomorrow as the utility received from consumption is much smaller than what he would have received if he consumed the good today.

Answer to Question 2

B
