Answer 1

- the declining social status of the people with whom he interacts

Answer 2

A. His increasingly dangerous use of the black arts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Black arts means to use supernatural magic for evil purposes. Faustus was marked by this because he made a deal with the devil, he didn't care about anything but his own "wellness" he wanted to gain knowledge, to travel the world, etc...

The other options are not possible, as the main idea of this play is his deal with devil.
