I don't think that I is correct in context to the statement as nothing is mentioned about the nature or thinking of the investors, nothing is mentioned about the aim for which the task is been performing, it could be performed for any other aim also.
Can anyone explain?

I dont think that the meeting can help in regaining confidence of The investors as the meeeting is a forum where they will only try to find out the cause. To get the confidence of Investors they have to find & implement solutions to the causes

I also think same. Assumption 1 is not relevant to statement given as we can not say that even if reasons for non volatile share is found & action on same is taken inventor could be taken in confidence.

They didn't mention anything about the investors. So you may never know how they are going to act and mentioning them is not relevant.
The correct option should be Only II.

According to me, only assumption 2 is implicit. Assumption 1 is not implicit because nothing is mentioned about investors in the statement.

What would the answer to this question be if we change the word "may" to "will" in the 1st assumption?
