Answer 1

A: "Personally, I like all kinds of birds to visit," said a State Bird Society representative.

and

C: "We're expecting a record number of birds this year,” said a State Bird Society representative.

Answer 2

The first is C: "We're expecting a record number of birds this year,” said a State Bird Society representative.

The reason is because they are suggesting that, since it will be a record number, more people should do their part in helping.

The second seems to be C: in the body where counterclaims are addressed, but there doesn't seem to be enough context in my opinion. The statements almost make no sense.
