    A if only I implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B if only II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C if either I or II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if neither I nor II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We can’t make out when was the building constructed. We also don’t know if the alumni had not visited the school in the interim, hence both assumptions are not implicit and option 4 is the correct answer.
