B Correct answer
Explanation

Only assumption II is implicit because extending working hours requires a valid reason - increased workload, client demands, or organizational needs. Assumption I is not implicit as the notice expresses pleasure, suggesting a positive decision rather than imposition despite opposition. The statement gives no indication of worker resistance.
