Statement: If it is easy to become an engineer, I don't want to be an engineer.
Assumptions:
- An individual aspires to be professional.
- One desires to achieve a thing which is hard earned.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, nothing is mentioned about the professional nature of the job. So, I is not implicit. The statement hints that one rejects a thing that is easy to achieve. So, II is implicit.

Yeah @Aanchal Kesri is absolutely right.
Statement specifically mentions about Engineers so we can not generalize this statement.
It is sufficient assumption but it is not a necessary assumption.
