A
Only argument I is strong.
💡 Explanation:

I is strong because higher rates attract people to deposit money for longer duration. If there will be only one rate of interest for term deposits for varying durations, this will adversely affect deposit of money in banks for longer duration and also the liquidity levels of banks. II is not strong because only one rate of interest does not encourage people for more savings.
