B) Only I and II are strong

C) All are strong

D) Only I and III are strong

E) None of these

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Only argument II is strong. The students cannot be enrolled in the courses just on the basis of their interests, but their compatibility with the same also matters. So, I does not hold. Besides, lack of institutes is no criteria to deny post-graduate courses to students. So, argument III also does not hold, II provides a genuine reason and thus holds strong.
