Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only assumption I is implicit

The assumption (I) is implicit because it is given that People who wear masks are safe from covid-19 which means covid-19 is spreading through the mouth, and covering your face will protect you.

assumption II is not implicit because it is contradicting the statement.

Hence, Only assumption (I) is implicit.
