Answer:
1.c. Increase in supply with steady demand results in a lower price.
2.b. The best example is an airline ticket. Business traveler's who travel on short notice (but have to fly) pay much more than people on vacation who book well in advance. This might sound like "c" is the answer, but the airline is not charging by group. They are simply selling the same seats on the airplane for different prices. The goal is to sell every seat for the highest possible price but not everyone will pay this price. The airline simply uses different techniques to fill the plane while maximizing profit.
c,b
