Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

For a risk averse person the expected utility derived from the wealth invested in a gamble is always lower than the actual utility derived from the wealth. He would be ready to pay someone to take the gamble away from him. On the other hand, a risk neutral person is indifferent between taking or avoiding a gamble with a zero expected return.
