Answer 1

The answer for this question would be C because a pyramid scheme does sell an actual product but the MLM company does not sell a real product, hence the difference is as such.

Answer 2

Here is for question one (an explanation)

Pyramid Schemes are fraudulent schemes, disguised as an MLM strategy. The difference between a pyramid scheme and a lawful MLM program is that there is no real product that is sold in a pyramid scheme. Participants attempt to make money solely by recruiting new participants into the program.

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message.
