A Correct answer
Explanation

Course of action I follows because taking a 2-year bond before training addresses the core issue - officers leaving after receiving free training, ensuring the bank recoups its investment. Course of action II does NOT follow because delaying training by 1 year doesn't address the problem of officers leaving after training; the timing of training relative to joining isn't the issue.
