Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only I follows

Given statement: The statement describes that due to COVID-19, corporates have only one option left with them to shut down their offices and give their employees the flexibility to work from their homes.

Inference I: This inference describes the situation of employees in the COVID-19 pandemic who have no other choice left other than to work from their homes and the statement has mentioned this situation. So, this inference follows.

Inference II: This inference states the condition of the corporate sector that they do not want to shut down their offices but it is not mentioned in the statement anywhere, so this inference does not follow.

Hence, Only I inference follows
