Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A cloud collapses and ultimately forms stars when gravity overcomes thermal pressure. The latter depends both on the density and temperature of the cloud. The high densities in molecular clouds means that the gravitational forces are relatively strong but the pressure is no higher than elsewhere because the temperatures are low.
