Answer
B.
Only II and III are implicit
C.
Only I and III are implicit
D.
Only III is implicit
E.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
An appeal has been made to 'introduce' written examination. This means that so far written examination was not conducted. So, I is implicit. II follows directly from the statement and so it is implicit. However, nothing can be deduced about the mode of selection at higher level. So, III is not implicit.
