    I. No. How can any country do such an undemocratic thing ?
    II. Yes. Despite many problems, it will certainly help minimize, if not eradicate , unethical medical practices.
    1. if only argument I is strong
    2. if only argument II is strong
    3. if either I or II is strong
    4. if neither I nor II is strong and
    5. if both I and II are strong.
Correct Option: B

A doctor treating a patient individually can mislead the patient into wrong and unnecessary treatment for his personal gain. so, argument II holds strong. Also, a policy beneficial to common people cannot be termed 'undemocratic'. So, I is vague.
