Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The first argument is not strong enough as it implies that all transfers should be stopped because they cause administrative hassles and inconvenience to the concerned. Second argument is also not strong as it is presupposing that a nexus exists between police and anti-social elements. It is not necessary that everywhere a nexus exists. So, option 4 is correct.
