Statement: The X-Airlines has decided to increase the passenger fare by 15 percent with immediate effect.
Assumptions:
- The demand for seats of X-Airlines may remain unchanged even after the hike of fare.
- Other airline companies may also hike the passenger fares.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, such decisions are taken only after making sure that it will not affect the company's business adversely. So, I is implicit. However, the impact of this increase on other airlines cannot be ascertained. So, II is not implicit.

Can someone explain, how can we be sure that the demand for seats may remain unchanged after the hike of fare?

People are using X-airline more in comparison to the rest so X-airlines might assume that even after increase in fare people will use it.

The X airline will not increase the fair unless, it may assure that the demand of seats remain unchanged.

This is not correct, the market is always about demand and supply and price, the assumption here is that X airlines must be doing very well to even consider increasing the price of flights, now in a market it does not matter how much research you make, if you change something between the market forces (demand, supply and price), it will affect the others and cause a change, please change your statement it is wrong. No company can make a change on one of these 3 forces and expect things to remain constant.

I believe that option d is correct because id airline increase fare, there are no any guarantee that passenger will remain or other airlines may increase fare.

Airline (or any business) hike prices with expectation that sales revenue or profit doesn't decrease. Sales may go down but total revenue may not.

Totally agree with you @Thembisani.
It only suggests that airlines will make profits even after its demand dips due to the increase in fare.

Option D is correct. As nothing is mentioned about the demand for seats in the paragraph and more over its not possible to predict its unchanged demand as it highly depends on fare and service provided by the other airlines.

The correct option is D. Nothing is mentioned about ticket demand.
