- if only assumption II is implicit.
- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II are implicit.
- if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: A
The civic authority has advised residents to keep away from mosquitoes to avert the risk of malaria. Such an advice would surely be adhered to by the people. So, II is not implicit. Besides, it has been advised to use mosquito repellents or nets. This means that people can afford to buy the same. So, I is implicit.
