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 suggested course of action logically follow (s) for pursuing. Statement: Reliance Jio Infocomm, the most recent entrant in India’s telecom service sector, may be more adversely affected by the Supreme Court order curbing the use of Aadhaar than older rivals Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel. The apex court order disallowing telcos from using the faster Aadhaar-based verification system could slow the pace of subscriber additions significantly, potentially delaying the company’s plan to acquire a 50% revenue market share. The Mukesh Ambani-owned telco has been adding many more subscribers every month than its rivals.  Courses of action: I. Jio’s gross customer additions could decline in the coming months as the verification process will henceforth be a more cumbersome affair, which could also be a turn-off for potential new users who’ve been lately used to instant connectivity under the Aadhaar-based enrolment mechanism.  II. Customer verification expenses will increase in step with the volume of customer acquisition of telcos and so, stronger the monthly user additions, higher the associated verification costs.  III. The more tedious verification process henceforth is also likely to slow down the processing of porting requests from customers.
