Statement: Most people who stop smoking gain weight.
Assumptions:
- If one stops smoking, one will gain weight.
- If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement talks of most people' and not 'all'. So, I is not necessarily true. Thus, I is not implicit. The condition, if one does not stop smoking, cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is also not implicit.

A should be correct as a person who doesn't stop smoking can also gain weight. Smoking is not the only factor for a person's weight gain.
