A Correct answer
Explanation

Assumption I is implicit because the Director's instruction assumes compliance - otherwise the circular serves no purpose. Assumption II is NOT implicit because it contradicts the directive; if officers may not attend, the instruction would be framed differently (like 'requesting attendance'). The statement's authoritative nature presumes obedience.
