Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Reflection nebulae look blue for the same reason the sky looks blue. Short wavelengths scatter more easily than long wavelengths, so blue photons are scattered. The blue color shows that the dust particles must be very small to preferentially scatter blue photons.
