I agree option A is correct. As there is nothing is mentioned about the type of industry and all industries do not pollute the environment.

We use either when both arguments will lead to a solution independently. That is both are yes or both are no along with strong.

Argument I is strong enough but argument is not necessarily true. I think only first argument is strong.

Both of them are correct and in an exam like CAT generally, we don't get the option of either or.
