Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Particles that would have orbital periods which are integral fractions of lunar orbits are constantly pulled out of these orbits and into elliptical orbits. Through particle collisions, these orbits become circular again. Thus orbital resonances are effective in moving ring particles out of certain orbits and into others.
