    2. if only Assumption II implicit
    3. if either Assumption I or II is implicit
    4. if neither Assumption I nor II implicit
Correct Option: D

The statement says a man should be humble even after being victorious. This implies that people are usually not humble after victory. Assumption I just opposite to it, hence is not implicit. Assumption II generalises the statement. Generally, people may be humble, the point is if they are humble or not after victory. Hence, none follows.
