For me, the answer is option D. As the incentive mainly depends on the performance, more specifically on the profits. There is nothing to do with area. For that allowances are there. Hence neither argument is strong.
Am I right?

I think both arguments are week as the reasons for the same are not at all logical.
Argument 1 is yes and we should increase the incentive in the village to make it equal to urban areas but the reason stated above is not at all clear.
Argument 2 - it is giving again a vague reason for the argument as the statement has not at all pointed about a particular village and it's an argument not an assumption that we will assume it on our own.
The answer will be D.

I think argument II is strong because in rural areas almost all things are cheaper then why should we give more incentives. In another hand, to attract in a rural area other ideas can be there.

Both argument are strong as both are the prevail notion of truth as no employ want to work in rural areas if incentive is given then they will be happily willing to work there and 2 statement is an established fact hence both are strong.
