Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Clearly, the statement expresses grave
concern over a newly-built flyover not being utilized by public. This implies
that such projects need to be taken up only after working out their utility and
that the huge expenditure incurred on building such structures is worthwhile
only if they prove useful for the public. Thus, only II is implicit.
