In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Monday that the government is ready to ensure credit is available to non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), just a day after the market regulator and the central bank sought to calm skittish investors. Jaitley's assurances followed panic selling in the equity market on Friday that pushed the benchmark Nifty Index more than three percent lower in less than 30 minutes. It later recovered to end the day down 0.81 percent.  Courses of action: I. The sell-off was sparked by news that a large fund manager sold short-term bonds issued by Indian NBFC Dewan Housing Finance Corp at a sharp discount, raising fears of wider liquidity problem among NBFCs.  II. Indian equity markets have hit record highs this year despite sell-offs in domestic bonds and weakness in the rupee that has made it Asia's worst-performing currency this year.  III. A sell-off in equity markets, which have been one of the few bright spots in the economy, could further dent Modi's popularity among some of the small business and trading community, a core base of BJP supporters, who were already stung by two of his largest reform moves - demonetization and a nationwide Goods and Services Tax (GST).
