B. Yes, "mucho gusto" is informal and "encantado/a"
is formal.
C. No, both phrases have the same basic meaning
can be used interchangeably when meeting

Answer 1

I believe the answer is C because you can use both when meeting someone and it doesn’t really matter which one you use. Encantado/a is a bit more common though.

Answer 2

Answer: I believe that the answer is B.

Explanation: When you are meeting someone older than you for the first time or, for example, having an interview for a job (a formal situation) and you want to sound respectful, you would use "encantado/a." If you are talking to a friend (an informal situation) or someone younger than you, you can say "mucho gusto."
