Answer 1

The answer is D :) Fables are typically fictional and parables deal more with real life, but they are both used to teach lessons. 

Answer 2

The answer is D: They both contain stories with a moral.

Fables are stories that involve animals, plants, or even inanimate objects as their characters set in a plot whose resolution conveys a moral.

Parables are short stories —with human characters— that represent an ethical principle set in a plot whose resolution, also, convey a moral. Parables are usually associated with the Parables of Jesus in the Gospels, but the term is not restricted to the teachings of Jesus.
