Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Rent seeking is using potentially productive resources to try and obtain transfers from the government. Rent seeking is not likely to be highly profitable in the long run because profits from rent seeking will encourage new rent seekers to enter the market. Increased competition for rents will reduce benefits from rent-seeking activity until they approximate a normal rate of return.
