The correct option is B Only argument II is strong

Should correspondence courses at the university level be discontinued in India ?

Every kind of courses whether it is classroom or correspondence is important in country like ours where there is vast geographical, social and economical disparity.

So, argument I is vague.

Classroom course can only be afforded by elites and they are suggesting discontinuation of correspondence courses not seeing condition of others who also want to study.

Thus, only argument II is strong enough to support the statement.

Hence, Option B is correct.
