Solution

The correct option is A Only argument II is strong
Should higher education be restricted to only those who can bear the expenditure?
Having such kind of policy would create a large gap in societies among rich and poor and will not be good for future generations.
Also there are many students who can not afford the fee but are very cream, it would then be a partiality for those students.
Thus argument II is strong and I is vague.
Hence, Option B is correct.
