The correct option should be A. Any industry opened is going to require employees, so argument 1 holds good. Now, nowhere it is mentioned about the type of industries, so it remains a conditional thing whether it would be polluting or not. So, only assumption 1 is strong and valid. So, A should be the answer.

When two arguments are given, one states advantage of the statement and other States disadvantage of statements (but both should be strong).

Hi guys,
Here both statements are true, but one is positive and another is negative. Follow the rules below to overcome confusion.
WHEN THE BOTH STATEMENTS ARE TRUE;
1) + and +,- and - take both.
2)+ and -, take either.

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.
