Solution
The correct option is E Both I and II are strong
Clearly, if there were less candidates, the voters would find it easy to make a choice. So, argument I holds. Also, every person satisfying the conditions laid down by the constitution must be given an opportunity and should not be denied the same just to cut down the number of candidates. So, argument II also holds strong.
