    B Only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either assumption I or assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither assumption I nor assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both assumptions I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Assumption I: The reason for restricting heavy vehicles is rising pollution, so it is assumed that heavy vehicles are a major contributor to pollution. So, assumption I is implicit. Assumption II: The purpose of restricting heavy vehicles is to mitigate the issue. It is assumed that this action will help reduce pollution and possibly traffic, so this assumption is also implicit.
