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.

Say the company is facing extreme cash crunch and hence hikes the fare. Where's the certainty that the number of passengers won't decrease.

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.

D is correct. The company hikes its prices due to financial problems. Also, whether they get bookings or not mostly depends on the availability.

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.

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.
