Just for your information: This is not a good quality question.
Sure?

Pls share OE for both.
Also this should be tagged under 700 level.

I disagree with the OAs here.

C can't be the answer to the 2nd question because of the phrase "speculating on their origins". The author isn't speculating on their origins, the author is suggesting"we would need to thoroughly comprehend the origin......"
