Option 3 : Only I is strong.

We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the arguments given in the options, analyze them and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us. Finally, it is very important to study the question closely.

Following the aforementioned steps, we must analyze the given statement and the corresponding question closely.

From the context, we understand that the move will help in the reduction of time and transportation costs between the eight northeastern states. But in the question, the cost factor is not taken into consideration, only the time factor is considered. Thus, the arguments must lay out the factors which will help in supporting the fact that the move will help in reducing the transportation time between the states.

Both arguments (II) and (III) deal with the cost factor only which is not asked in the question and thus, these can be rejected.

Argument (I) is a simple statement regarding the route of the waterway which can be understood as an indication to the fact that the time of transportation will be reduced because of the route followed by the waterway.

Moreover, since we do not have any option like ‘None follows’, thus, we have to mark any of the arguments stated. From both (II) and (III) we have deduced that they are not relevant thus, the only option choice that we are left with is argument (I).

Thus, the correct answer is option 3
