B.
Only argument II is strong
C.
Either I or II is strong
D.
Neither I nor II is strong

So, argument I holds strong. But it will not affect the control of teaching faculty on students because still the teachers would be teaching them. So, argument II is vague.

C.
Only III is strong
D.

Besides, Constitution has extended the right to vote equally to all its citizens. Hence, III also holds.
