The statement is: The ‘M’ Cooperative Housing Society has put up a notice at its gate those sales persons are not allowed inside the society.

Assumption I is: All the sales persons will stay away from the ‘M’ Cooperative Housing Society.

Assumption II is: The security guard posted at the gate may be able to stop the sales persons entering the society.

Assumption I is not implicit. The notice does not say that all sales persons will stay away from the society. It is possible that some sales persons will ignore the notice and try to enter the society.

Assumption II is implicit. The notice is a request to the security guard to stop sales persons from entering the society. This implies that the society believes that the security guard may be able to stop sales persons from entering.

Therefore, the correct answer is: B. Only assumption II is implicit.
