A:
Silverlight needs a much smaller .net runtime to run. WPF needs full .net runtime installed in your machine. From a web application it is easy for Silverlight to penetrate a huge percentage of userbase. Also Silverligt supports Windows and Mac out of box and some limited support for Linux through Moonlight.
