Correct Answer
C. The ad will not show when the negative keywords are in the user's search query
Explanation
When negative keywords are added to an ad group, the ad will not be shown when those negative keywords are included in the user's search query.

Correct Answer
C. CPM and/or CPC
Explanation
CPM and/or CPC bidding can be used for image ads on the Display Network.

Since the campaign is not opted into the Display Network, the CPM option is not applicable.

Therefore, adding placements to an ad group will not impact the quality score for search.
