Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The exchange stands as a counterparty to each trade, thus reducing counterparty risk and information costs. The reduced risk and information costs, along with the standardization of contract terms, increase the willingness of investors to buy and sell futures contracts. The large number of buyers and sellers results in increased liquidity.
