Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The problem of adverse selection occurs in the health insurance market when low-risk individuals stay out of the market due to high premiums. A large number of high-risk individuals in the market further increases the premium causing only high-risk individuals to remain in the market. A health insurance mandate, which requires everybody to purchase a basic insurance plan, implies that low-risk individuals cannot opt out of the market and thus prevents the chain of events triggered by adverse selection.
