Wow, well of course extra incentives should be offered. Its a government job, no matter where it is, what it entitles, or how long it will be there, when you work for the government you need extra incentives.
With no incentives, who would want to work for the government? Every government job has some sort of incentive or perk, or no one would fill that spot. I was wrong with my original answer option B. It is quite clearly option A.

C - Either of the argument.
To attract people in rural area it may be number of the idea. On other side the expenses is very less in rural areas.

Argument 2 is correct argument because in rural areas many people are lack of employment so for them getting a job is important than getting more incentives. So B should be the answer.

Argument1 is for sure not strong as the statement talks about more incentives and 1 says only incentives are required to attract people, so according to me answer should be none of the above option C.

Purchasing power of rupee is less in urban places and more in rural places. Therefore incentives should be same or should be high for urban places. Both the arguments are strong. Therefore C should the answer.
