D Correct answer
Explanation

In reality a maximum ceiling will reduce the scope of getting higher salary for those who work hard and contribute very much in an organization’s profit. Hence, I is not true. Therefore, I is not strong. II is not strong because it does not add sufficient reasons to impose maximum ceiling on the earnings of an individual in an organisation.
