Answer 2

<br /> or <br/> (and all tags of this sort) are used for xhtml/xml compatibility which is useful for parsing, because you can just use an xml parser for html parsing this way: see this answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1946426/html-5-is-it-br-br-or-br
<b> can be used as last resort if no other tag is appropriate, but <strong> should be used for important content
