Option 3 : Only III is strong.

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. only III 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, analyse 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.

The above statement talks about the anti-adultery laws and the government's demand to strike it down as it is gender biased. Argument (I) is ‘strong' and supports the fact that it should be struck down as it states the fact that the males consider women as their possession and such laws will strengthen that. It is only in the direction that such laws should be revised. (III) support the fact that such laws should not be banned as they convey that such laws are important to maintain the sanctity of Indian marriages.

Thus, option 3 captures the correct argument and supports the statement in the best possible manner and is our answer choice. Hence, the rest of the options can be rejected.
