Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A colluding firm will cheat if it can cheat without being detected or punished. A colluding firm can also cheat if it is in danger of bankruptcy. In addition, if the government outlaws a product, then firms selling that product will know that on the last day of legal sales, no individual firm has an incentive to continue playing a cooperative strategy. Therefore, these firms are likely to cheat.
