[amp_mcq option1=”None is strong” option2=”All are strong” option3=”Only I is strong” option4=”Only I and III are strong E. Only II and III are strong” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is C. Only I is strong.

Argument I is strong because it provides evidence that privatization will make IITs financially healthy, competitive, and quality conscious. Argument II is weak because it is based on the assumption that privatization is always the best way to improve an institution, which is not necessarily true. Argument III is weak because it is based on the fear that privatization will lead to a decline in the quality of education at IITs, but there is no evidence to support this claim.

In conclusion, only Argument I is strong.
