The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Only argument 'I' is strong.

Solar energy is a renewable source of energy as well causes no pollution. Hence, argument 1 is a strong one. 

India has huge funds allocated to project like building statues and recreational parks which do not provide any solution to the country's problems. Once set up the solar energy unit requires funds only for maintenance and not harnessing, in contrast to non-renewable sources of energy like petrol and coal which require huge inputs in terms of constant requirement of resources. This proves that argument II is a weak one.
