The correct option is C If neither I nor II is strong
It is not necessary that any practice which has been in vogue for a long time is right and it must be continued. So, argument I is not strong. Also, a practice must be continued or discontinued in view of its merits/demerits and not on grounds of the expenditure or procedures it entails. The policy of transfer is generally practiced to do away with corruption, which is absolutely essential. So, argument II also does not hold.
