"Less" is the only grammatically correct option. "Decreased" or "reduced" would be OK if the context of the? question had "a" in front of "significant" - "Chronically lonely people have a significantly decreased chance of survival than socially active people do."

Yes, "affect" is a good answer. If? you look at the list of possible answers at the end of the video, affect and damage are also acceptable.
