Why should not it be only option B? Surely setting big industries elsewhere would also create job opportunities without adding more pollution to an already over-polluted city like Mumbai.

None of the aspects can be taken for granted so it should be E.

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

Let me explain guys.
On the outset, if you consider the 1st argu. As strong argument on the basis of job opportunities, then automatically 2nd argument becomes weak.
Similarly, if you consider the 2nd argu. As strong on the basis of Environment, then automatically 1st argument becomes weak.
So at a time, either I or II will be strong. So the given answer is correct.

Agree with Vibha & Nitish:
Both statements are very strong So I think it should be [E].
If not then plz explain it.

Agree with @Vibha Jambhulkar.
I think both are true. Pollution is other effect of industrilization. You can't ignore them on either basis. They are true at tha same time.

I think both the reasons should be true at a time, because as the big industry is started it will increase the job opportunities as well as will lead to increase in pollution at the same instance.
