Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Short wavelength (blue) light passing through a cloud is blocked more than longer (redder) wavelengths by the dust grains. Thus starlight passing through a cloud appears redder than in the absence of a cloud. The amount of reddening can be measured by comparing a star's observed color to that expected for its spectral type. By looking at many stars and measuring the reddening toward each one, a map of the dust distribution can be built up.
