A None is strong

B Only I and II are strong

C Only II and III are strong

D Only I and III are strong

E All are strong

ANS:C - Only II and III are strong

Explanation: Clearly, strike is not a means of indiscipline but only a practice in which the workers exercise their fundamental right to voice their protest against the atrocities of the management. So, argument I is vague while II holds. Also, the option of resorting to strikes often aggravates petty issues and disrupts work for long periods, thus affecting productivity. So, III also holds strong.
