-Classification of Airspace
Name the Class of Airspace with the following conditions and services:

Separation: IFR from IFR, IFR from VFR, VFR from IFR,
Traffic information: in respect of other VFR flights

Controlled airspace can be class A, B, C, D, or E.
The right answer can't be class A, because VFR is not allowed in class A. Class A can be high-altitude airways and some terminal areas around large airports, like Schiphol.
class B airspace is more rare in Europe; it's like class A, but VFR is allowed. So highest security, everything seperated.
Class C airspace is typically a CTR around an airport: The ATC controller must separate all traffic
exept VFR from VFR.
VFR traffic is supposed to see and avoid each other: However, all traffic in class C must maintain radio contact and have a flight plan, so the controller can see all traffic on his screen; and can provide traffic information from all existing traffic in his CTR on request.
Class D airspace: CTR's in Germany, for example, are often class D. The difference with class C is that the controller doesn't separate IFR from VFR either, only IFR from IFR.
In this type of CTR the Boeing on the ILS has to keep a lookout for VFR traffic if they are clear of cloud (in VMC).
But the controller can still give traffic info from all existing traffic on request or whenever he wants, depending on his workload. But he is not required to do so.
In Class E airspace, VFR traffic is not required to make radio contact, so a controller can never be sure that he knows where all traffic in his area is. Technically class E is only Controlled A/S for IFR traffic.
I hope this makes it clear that q.1 is class D, and q.2 class C.
