Your Answer for Question 1:
The C preprocessor essentially processes the file before compiling and takes care of the macros and constants. It would then make sense that the input language is C. The output would also be C, because it is done just before compiling where it still exists as uncompiled C code. In the figure, the preprocessor would be located under C program and above Compiler.

Your Answer for Question 2:
In this case the program would be less modular. Instead of having many object files, this step would essentially be skipped. So if a program would have to be recompiled, everything would have to be as opposed just a single object file that makes up the whole program. The C programmer would experience more wait time for the file to compile.
