[A].	Only assumption I is implicit
[B].	Only assumption II is implicit
[C].	Either I or II is implicit
[D].	Neither I nor II is implicit
[E].	Both I and II are implicit

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The statement presents the issue of 'not reaching airport in time' as a problem. This means that reaching airport in time is necessary. So, I is not implicit. Besides, it is mentioned that reaching airport in time has become difficult due to large number of potholes in road X. This implies that road X is the only possible way. So, II is implicit.
