Here mentioned the term "compulsory" means some may not like reading books eventually it is kind of force so option E may be correct.

I think the answer should be D.

Generation interest by reading 2 books a week which is made compulsory will not make them like reading. And ofcourse I is out of question. So, it should be D.

Agree @Ankita.

According to the statement, the word compulsory is used.

So conclusion, 1 follows And conclusion 2 also follows. So, the answer is option E.
