I.The rainfall during the remaining part of the monsoon may be adequate for normal water supply.

A. Only assumption I is implicit B. Only assumption II is implicit
C. Either I or II is implicit D. Neither I nor II is implicit

Answer: Option E
Explaination:

 


The statement clearly indicates that at present the water level of the lakes is adequate. There is nothing of a shortage to induce a cut in water supply and still there is time to wait and watch the performance of rains during the remaining monsoon period. So, both I and II are implicit.
