Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Assumption I is NOT necessarily implicit because the hospital offering free checkup doesn't guarantee large numbers will avail it - it's a possibility, not an assumption. Assumption II is NOT implicit because whether staff can cope with rush is a planning consideration, not an assumption underlying the decision to offer the service. Neither can be definitively assumed from the statement.
