The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: The domestic equity market has become supervolatile  and converted the psychology of every market participant into fear. Greed and fear continue to alternate in the market, like the two sides of a coin. To a seasoned player, there seems to be nothing new as such instances of panic-selling often occur time and again. Why? Arguments: I. Since demonetisation, herd mentality had jacked up financials, banks and NBFC stocks to great heights on the pretext of financial inclusion and formalisation of the economy. This caused the financials gain disproportionate share in Nifty50 at 35 per cent of the free float market capitalisation, which was unheard of in the past.  II. The domestic market seems to be deeply oversold and can rebound on any good news. The Nifty50 has taken long-term support at the three-year trend line, which makes a case for the correction to near its end. III. Investors, therefore, should not panic and sell off shares. Instead they should do the reverse and gather the courage to pump in more money into the market by picking quality stocks or investing in ETFs for more stable returns.

Which of the following statements can be logically inferred from the above paragraph? i) Even as a junior cricketer, John was considered a good captain. ii) Finding a complete captain is a challenge. iii) Fans and the Cricket Board have differing views on what they want in a captain. iv) Over the past three seasons, John has accumulated big scores.
