A Correct answer
Explanation

Assumption I is implicit because choosing the biggest stadium (capacity over 1 lakh) clearly indicates an expectation of selling many tickets and generating significant revenue - otherwise, a smaller stadium would suffice. Assumption II is NOT implicit because if spectators preferred watching on TV, there would be no reason to choose the biggest stadium; this assumption contradicts the action taken.
