B. Only II is implicit

C. Only II and III are implicit

D. Only III is implicit

E. None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Corporation's response to the letter cannot be deduced from the statement. So, I is not implicit. The municipality's position in regard to water supply is also not mentioned. So, II is also not implicit. Since the residents talk of 'restoring' normalcy, it means that water supply was adequate in the past. So, III is implicit.
