Course of action I is not the right approach and II is the right approach. The entire draft need not be withdrawn. Only the criticism regarding the draft should be addressed and suggestions given must be studied carefully.

So, Course of action I does not follow, and Course of action II follows.

Course of action III is not an appropriate action by a democratic government. Genuine concerns of the protesters must be addressed. Moreover, there is no mention that law-and-order is challenged by the protesters in the passage.

Hence, only II follows.
