@All.
Remember the following tips for this type of reasoning question.
1. The statement is always correct.
2. Only use a practical solution and practical solutions must be relevant to the statement or minimize the problem.
3. Do not select answer based on morality or ethics, do not assume anything.
Option I say the country should take a loan from ADB to develop coal port. The statement does not talk about the financial status of the country. So, we will consider the country is strong enough to take the loan and the coal port is an asset to the country and will help in developing the infrastructure of the country and profit from these port will help the country repay the loan (anything when help in the development of a nation Follows).
Option (ii) is just opposite of option I. It is assuming the financial status and morally right (refer golden tips) and option ii is against the development of the country and anything that is against the benefit of the country does not follow.

How about raising equity capital with a mix of loan taken in the capital structure?
Instead of taking entire amount as loan. Even the wealthy private companies of the country can take up this project. The answer is subject to multiple forces, I think.

Asking Financial assistance sound negative, how could we consider the first statement?
Whether we are in debt trap or not?
Whether we are in debt trap or not?

But there is nothing about previous sanctioned so we can't say we are in debt trap @Deepanshu.

I also agree with @Deepanshu.

But continuous approval of loan can make country a debt trap. So according to me either 1 or 2 is correct.
