Statement: The product X that you have asked for is not with us but can be made available against firm order from you.

Assumptions:

  1. The product X is not in great demand.

Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

Neither follows as if they do not have product x then it doesn't mean that it has a great demand there may be some another reason. So, 1 is explicit.
