Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

False. Suppose player 1 has a dominant strategy in a two-player simultaneous move game. Then player two will choose the best response to that dominant strategy. This may not result in the highest payoff for player 1. The prisoners' dilemma is an example. All we can say for sure is that player 1 will achieve the highest payoff given the strategy of the opponent.
