Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Usual distinctions include consumer vs. capital goods and labor- vs. capital-intensive goods. Economies tend to start with light industry because they require little capital and skills, in accordance with factor endowments. Also light industry tends to produce goods needed immediately and affordable by a large share of the population.
