Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

During the Precambrian, the areas that are now part of the shield were tectonically active with volcanism, metamorphism, and folding and faulting. During that time, continents grew by accretion. Since the beginning of the Phanerozoic, these areas have been tectonically inactive and have been eroded to topographically flat, stable areas.
