E Correct answer
Explanation

All three assumptions are implicit. The employee wouldn't suggest putting slogans on the notice board without believing they'd be considered (assumption I). You only put anti-smoking slogans where smoking occurs (assumption II). The purpose of such slogans is behavior change (assumption III). Each assumption follows logically from the act of making the suggestion.
