You don't need to trim the reads for 16S sequencing, but you do for whole genome sequencing.

  B.

Whole genome sequencing files will have more reads in them because genomes are bigger than 16S amplicons.

  C.

The read alignment and contig assembly steps would probably be harder for whole genome sequencing.

  D.

The 16S molecules being sequenced are always DNA, while for whole genome sequencing they could be RNA or DNA going into the illumina sequencer.

  E.
