B Only I and II are strong

C All are strong

D Only I and III are strong

E None of these

ANS:E - None of these

Explanation: Only argument II is strong. The students cannot be enrolled in the courses just on the basis of their interests, but their compatibility with the same also matters. So, I does not hold. Besides, lack of institutes is no criteria to deny post-graduate courses to students. So, argument III also does not hold. II provides a genuine reason and thus holds strong.
