Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The gains from trade do not rely on overall productivity (absolute advantage) but on differences in relative prices (comparative advantage). In producing a good or service, as long as a trading partner gives up fewer units of an alternate product, we can gain from trade with them.
