Statement: Vitamin E tablets improve circulation, keep your complexion in a glowing condition.
Assumptions:
- People like a glowing complexion.
- Complexion becomes dull in the absence of circulation.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Generally, only that good feature of a product is highlighted which people crave for. So, I is implicit. Since complexion glows if circulation is improved, so II is also implicit.

1 one is implicit. But 2 is not. If vitamin E is present, we can have improved circulation and hence good complexion. But this does not mean that the converse is also true, i.e. if we read 2nd assumption Complexion becomes dull in the absence of circulation?
If circulation is absent, man will die! There is no question of a dull or glowing complexion, then, how it could be?

What is meaning of implicit here?

Agreed with above. The sentence should have read: "keeping your complexion glowing". This would imply that increased circulation improves complexion, and is not just another benefit of the tablets. Only I follows.

1). How can we generalize?
2). "comma" is used to list separate entities, there is not structure word to connect the two independent clauses, so I could not figure out that two sentences were supposed to be connected.

Your statement should have read, The people are buying a lot of Vitamin E tablets, so that we can understand that they like their skin glowing, how can we know that is the case if your statement says nothing about people?

There is no mention of people, and no mention of this being an advertising campaign.

Generally is not logical. Therefore mentioning that 'generally, good feature of the product is only highlighted' is incorrect. Error needs to be reported.

Complexion glows if circulation is improved. But it has said nothing about absence, may be it will remain the same.
