Statement: Unemployment allowance should be given to all unemployed Indian youth above 18 years of age.
Assumptions:
- There are unemployed youth in India who needs monetary support.
- The government has sufficient funds to provide allowance to all unemployed youth.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
I directly follows from the statement and so is implicit. Also, the statement is a suggestion and does not tell about a government policy or its position of funds. So, II is not implicit.

Both I and II are implicit.
1. Assumption I is implicit: When a statement proposes giving a monetary allowance to unemployed youth, it inherently assumes that this group exists and requires financial support. A proposal for aid is only logical if a need for that aid exists.
2. Assumption II is implicit: When making a definitive public policy recommendation ("should be given to all"), the statement assumes that the plan is actually feasible to implement. If the government lacked the necessary funds, the recommendation to give allowances to all youth would be impossible, making the statement irrational. Therefore, sufficient funding is a necessary underlying assumption.

2 in not implicit because, it is a suggestion (that means here, the statement is not said by the government. It is said by someone).
(If it is said by the government it is implicit).
(If it is said by the government it is implicit).

A is the right answer.
If the statement would have been 'Govt has decided' in that case it would have been an assumption that it has sufficient funds.
But here it is not a decision but a suggestion so we can't be sure of the funds which make A as the correct answer.

The answer should be D because When the government has sufficient fund and feels to assist all youth, only then it can declare this.

Answer should be "D".
In the statement: All unemployed youth above 18 given, but in assumption 1: needy youth.
