Yes, I also think D is right. B listens to A that's why he is giving the advice, but the explanation says that since it is not given in the statement so it cannot be true but according to me since it is an assumption it doesn't matter whether it's In the statement or not as long as it is logical.

There was another question. In which there was no mentioning of expanding the business but still it was considered. So why there but not here?

A gives advice to B as B is expected to listen. In all such statements like 'govt has decided', 'A directs B', 'A advises B' etc. Its assumed that the person will listen that is why the advice was given. No doubt its not binding on someone to go by the instructions or advises.

[D] All are implicit.

I think D is correct. B will listen to A's advice, so only B is saying to A.
