C. Either I or II is implicit

D. Neither I nor II is implicit

E. Both I and II are implicit

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The total utility can be maximised by equality of income throughout the community, i.e., by giving extra income from the rich to the poor. So, I is implicit. Also, II pertains to economic right and is not concerned with equality of income throughout the community. So, it is not implicit.
