Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Hydrogen (H2) is the most common molecule in the Universe, but it does not radiate strongly in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Conversely, carbon monoxide (C) is a much less common molecule in the Universe, but it is a very efficient radiator of radio energy. Radio astronomers measure the amount of CO and use it to infer H2 concentrations to help map a molecular cloud.
