E Correct answer
Explanation

Argument I is strong because strikes do hamper production and create scarcity - this is a significant, direct impact on the economy and public welfare. Argument II is also strong because losing the right to strike would make workers vulnerable to exploitation - this is a fundamental labor rights concern. Both arguments present important, valid considerations that are directly related to the question.
