A statement is given followed by two arguments. Decide which of the arguments is/are strong with respect to the statement.
Statement:
Officers in the administrative departments should be transferred.
Arguments:
1. Yes, they get friendly with people and can be manipulated by them.
2. No, officers do not like to get transferred frequently.

Officers in the administrative departments should be transferred.

Evaluation of Argument 1: Yes, they get friendly with people and can be manipulated by them.

Argument 1 suggests that officers get too familiar with the people they interact with and can be manipulated. This implies that frequent transfers can prevent the officers from becoming too friendly and potentially compromising their objectivity or integrity.

This argument is strong because it presents a logical reason for why transfers might be necessary — to avoid undue influence or manipulation.

Evaluation of Argument 2: No, officers do not like to get transferred frequently.

Argument 2 states that officers do not like to be transferred frequently. This is more of a personal opinion or preference of the officers, but it doesn't directly address whether transfers are beneficial from a functional or administrative perspective.

This argument is weak because it is based on the comfort or personal preference of the officers rather than addressing the administrative or organizational need for transfers.

Therefore, only Argument 1 is strong with respect to the statement.

Thus, correct option is (d).
