Some questions that look for answers and explanations

Hi mates, would like to have some explanations on the following questions. Trying to picture it but not really well. Any help would appreciate.

1.. Enter a climb with constant power
A) Airspeed decreases because weight acts in the direction of drag
B) Airspeed decreases because drag increases after takeoff

2. When aircraft is descending with idle power, how can airspeed remain constant
A) Rotating propeller still generates thrust
B) Component of lift balances the drag
C) The component of weight balances the drag

Many thanks
