• E. Both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Neither I nor II is implicit

The statement implies that it was not 'literally' imprisonment, but Nelson Mandela's dedicated service to the nation and his struggle for freedom despite various hardships that won him the desired public appeal to be elected the President. So, neither I nor II is implicit.
