Solution

The correct option is C Only I and II are strong
Shortage of electricity can only be faced with saving in electricity. So argument I seems to be strong. Argument II is also strong because every citizen is paying every single unit of electricity so he/she has right to consume it. Argument III seems to be weak because the government can easily manage restricted use of electricity.
