Answer is D as nothing is mentioned about B's wish and his advising others.

Go to Jammu is directly pointed to B. So [I] is implicit.

Maria said:   10 years ago
The answer is D. There is no confirmation that B wants to go to Jammu in what A advice's?

The answer must be "D", we cannot conclude that B wishes to go to Jammu. B might want to know the route for some calculations for his project. If he wants to know the shortest route doesn't means he wants to go there.

The answer must be 'D'.

The statement doesn't mean that B wishes to go to JAMMU.
