    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
    E if both I and II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We can’t infer from assumption I if sand quarries used to deploy machinery earlier and we also don’t know if there was any government directive as stated in assumption II. Hence correct answer option is 4.
