Solution

The correct option is E Only I and III follow
Clearly, the owner of the shop should be punished for selling spurious liquor. Further, attempts should be made to unearth other such unscrupulous liquor sellers by conducting raids and testing samples collected from different shops. So, both II and III follow. However, sending the liquor shop owner to another place may create a problem elsewhere also. So, II does not follow.
