    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The statement is talking about the number of cases of food poisoning and not about the number of cases of liquor consumption. So, I is not implicit. The statement talks about food poisoning as well as the increasing liquor consumption, so there must be illegal liquor shops selling cheap quality liquor at a low price. So, only II is implicit.
