Select the correct conclusion based on the correct meaning of the word highlighted in the following sentence.
Statement: Some people have no compunction in changing their jobs ever so often.
Conclusion:
i It is a noble feeling to have, after all, as your conscience is clear.
ii At the end of their productive life, they might find themselves neither here nor there: a rolling stone gathers no moss.
iii You have no one to care for or worry about: you are the master of yourself.

Correct option is D

Only conclusion ii is correct.
· Compunction means a feeling of guilt or moral scruple that prevents or follows the doing of something bad. (पश्चाताप / ग्लानि)
· Example: He felt no compunction about the shady deal.
Explanation:
· Since the statement says no compunction, it implies the people feel no guilt while changing jobs.
· Conclusion ii rightly points out that such people may eventually end up unstable or rootless (a rolling stone gathers no moss).
· Conclusion i talks about clear conscience — but 'no compunction' implies a lack of guilt, not necessarily a clear conscience, so it’s incorrect.
· Conclusion iii talks about self-mastery, which is unrelated here.
Thus, only ii is correct.
