Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Only argument I is strong.

The argument I is strong.

It is true that Yoga and meditation help the students to have better concentration which eventually helps in their studies.

Argument II is not strong as the argument given against not doing Yoga and meditation is vague.

Hence, the only argument I is strong.
