- if only argument I is strong
- if only argument II are strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong and
- if both I and II are strong.
Correct Option: A
Clearly, laws are made to ensure that no person pursues the practice. So, persons who violate the laws need to be punished. Thus, argument I holds. A wrong practice, no matter how firmly rooted, needs to be ended. So, argument II is vague.
