Direction: In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ''Strong'' arguments and ''Weak'' arguments insofar as they relate to the question. ''Strong'' arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. ''Weak'' arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question.

- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: D
I is not strong because of the word 'only'. II is weak because it is against sterilisation. In the era of science and technology such argument is not considered as an important one .
