D.

Only assumption II is implicit.

Correct option is C

Given: 
Statement: Sally wanted to invite Harry over for a good dinner, so she made broccoli soup and apple pie for him.
Assumptions:
Assumption I: "Harry will accept the dinner invitation."
Sally prepared a special meal for Harry, which implies she expects him to accept the invitation.
Thus, assumption I is implicit.
Assumption II: "Harry likes broccoli soup and apple pie."
Sally made these dishes specifically for Harry, which suggests she assumes that he likes them.
Thus, assumption II is implicit.
Assumption III: "Harry doesn't like apple pie too much."
The statement does not indicate anything about Harry’s preference level for apple pie, whether he likes it a lot or just a little.
Thus, assumption III is NOT implicit.
Thus, the correct option is (c) Only assumptions I and II are implicit.
