Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The surface of Mercury is marked by long, high cliffs. Such features result from tectonic compression, but there are no corresponding features due to tectonic stretching. This suggests the whole planet contracted as it rapidly cooled in its early history. We can date the contraction from the age of the volcanic flows on its surface: volcanic (and all geologic) activity probably came to an abrupt halt as a result of the planet's contraction.
