Answer 1

The correct option is A Argument (i) is strong

Argument I talks of inertia and inefficiency that may creep in to adversely affect the spirit of competition among the employees. It's .a serious concern for any organisation. Paying more and still having inefficient employees would be a bad situation. Hence, it is a strong argument. So, option (a) is the correct.
