"The Indian cricket team is expected to win the World Cup in 2019" - Mahendera Singh Dhoni.

A.

Both assumptions I and II are implicit.

B.

Only assumption I is implicit.

C.

Only assumption II is implicit.

D.

Neither assumption I nor II is implicit.

Correct option is B

Given: 
Statement:
"The Indian cricket team is expected to win the World Cup in 2019" - Mahendera Singh Dhoni.
Assumption (I): Indian cricket team is good.
In order to expect a team to win the World Cup, it would typically be assumed that the team is capable and skilled.
Therefore, Assumption I am implicit as the statement suggests that the Indian cricket team is strong enough to be expected to win.
Assumption (II): Indians want the Indian cricket team to win the World Cup 2019.
The statement does not mention anything about the desires or preferences of the people. It simply makes an expectation about the team's performance.
So, Assumption II is not implicit because the statement doesn't imply anything about the public's wishes.
Only assumption I is implicit.
Thus, correct option is (b).
