Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

We know that stars form surrounded by disks of gas and dust, that there is enough material in these systems to form many planets, and that, theoretically, planet growth should be common in these disks. Observationally, we have detected Jupiter- (and even Saturn-) mass planets around nearby stars using the Doppler technique, and the Kepler mission has shown (via transits) that a majority of stars have planets.
