Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

These two companies' products are primarily substitutes for each other. A price increase for one company would both affect own profits but also would shift some demand to the other and thereby increase the other's profits. Before the merger, the second effect would not have been captured by the firm raising prices. After the merger, it would. Therefore it is more willing to raise prices.
