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 A

The mother warns her child with the expectation that he would stop troubling her. So, I is implicit. The general nature of children cannot be derived from the statement. So, II is not implicit.
