Option 1 : If only argument I is strong.

Statement: Should one year of army training be compulsory for all Indian citizens?

Argument I: No, the costs of training will be prohibitive and one year of labour will be lost. → Due to the training, there will be a loss of labour for one year. Therefore argument I is strong.

Argument II: Yes, army training helps make better citizens. → Clearly, it is not necessary that the army training helps to make a better citizen. The impact of training differs from person to person. So, the argument II is vague.

Hence, the only argument I is strong.

 In question of Statement and Arguments, it is not necessary that statement contains all the things which are given in arguments. In these questions, we just have to think that whether the arguments are strong or not.
