Pipe is generally termed for rigid tubes. Tubes are flexible profiles without any reinforcement. Hoses are flexible tubes with multiple reinforcements.

Answer A: Tubing normally has separate connectors, while hoses have integral/attached connection fittings. Answer B: If you've ever been hosed, you'd know the difference. Think of a rubber or vinyl garden hose or a canvas/cloth fire hose. Now think of copper, plastic or rubber tubing. Used similarly, constructed slightly differently in some cases, sometimes indistinguishable, sort of different ends of a spectrum with a meeting/overlap point somewhere toward the center of the category. Hoses can carry water or liquids, tubing can, also, but is used for gases under pressure, as well. Tubing, to put a fine point on the topic, generally has greater lateral/sidewall rigidity and strength than hoses.
