- If only Argument I is strong
- If only Argument II is strong
- If neither I nor II Is strong
- If both I and II are strong
Correct Option: A
Argument I is strong because, if all the police officers are transferred after every two years, then it will create a lot of administrative hassles and it will also create lot of inconvenience to the police officers. The use of term 'only'in the Argument II makes it invalid.
