(b) I and II are strong

(c) Only III is strong

(d) I and IV are strong

(e) All are strong

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Argument I states that banning aerated drinks is the *only* way to reduce disease risk. The word *only* makes this argument weak because there could be other ways to reduce risk (like awareness, moderation, etc.).

2. Argument II claims individuals should have the right to choose. However, this is not always absolute as laws restrict harmful actions. Hence, this argument is not very strong.

3. Argument III says there is no confirmed evidence that aerated drinks have adverse effects. This is a strong argument because without scientific proof, banning is not justified.

4. Argument IV states that since other countries have banned these drinks, India should too. This is a weak argument because blindly following other countries is not a valid reason.

**Answer:** (c) Only III is strong
