Answer to Question 1

Gasoline and SUVs are complements. When the price of gasoline rises it becomes more expensive to drive an SUV, and so the demand for SUVs is likely to decrease (people may switch to smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles). Note that as a result of the decrease in demand for SUVs their price should decrease and so should the quantity of SUVs sold.

Answer to Question 2

D
